CALL TO ACTION:
The U.S. Department of Education has issued a proposed rule that could affect student loan access for licensure-leading Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine programs, along with many other health professionals. If not addressed, the proposal could significantly reduce loan limits for AHM students and create new barriers to entry into the profession.
