These criteria permit exceptions to the ratio specified above only in the case of obstetrical care. If an area meets the criteria outlined herein as a rational area for the delivery of primary medical services it can be designated as a PSA for Obstetrics if the ratio of the total population (all ages and sexes) to the physicians who perform obstetrical deliveries as part of their normal practice exceeds 15,000:1. This designation as a PSA for Obstetrics would enable a Family Practitioner or Obstetrician who will agree to perform deliveries as part of their normal practice to locate in a PSA for Obstetrics and receive loan forgiveness as specified in Section 49-50-106, Tennessee Code Annotated.
