Explaining the PA Collaboration Bill: A Comprehensive Overview
Important Updates
CAPA stands with AAPA and PAEA in opposing student loan caps related to the passage of H.R. 1 in July. The U.S. Department of Education’s negotiation with the federal government led to a definition of “professional program" that would exclude physician associates from eligibility for higher student loan limits.
The cost of PA education for most students exceeds these imposed limits and will essentially limit the number of qualified students applying to PA programs or force students into high interest private loans. This would come at a time of rapid growth of the PA profession in meeting the healthcare demands of the future and has the potential to limit access to care for all Americans. We also call on the Department of Education to fix this proposal as it advances through the regulatory process.
Please see the link for further information on these changes, sign the AAPA petition and consider adding your personal story to the discussion.
