It was announced today that $290 million from the Affordable Health Care Act will be used to expand funding for the National Health Services Corp that provides funds to health professionals to repay student loans. Physical therapists were not included in the list of professions that can use these funds. Where is the APTA on this? My understanding was that a bill was introduced in Congress last year to make PTs eligible for these funds.
