ASAHP Joins Joint Letter to the Department of Education Regarding Student Loan Repayment

ASAHP joined other organizations in a letter to the Department of Education expressing concern that that the regulatory framework for loan repayment programs under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) may not adequately reflect the realities of the health professions workforce. The organizations urge the Department to ensure that the health professions workforce is considered a single, integrated workforce when determining loan eligibility criteria. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act set new student loan caps for graduate students, with a higher cap for those pursuing a professional degree.
