Several health‑care professional associations have formed a coalition to oppose newly announced federal loan caps that would limit borrowing for graduates in high‑cost training programs, the coalition’s leaders told Inside Higher Ed. The American Occupational Therapy Association and allied groups organized as loan limits threatened enrollment, program sustainability, and workforce supply in clinical fields. Coalition leaders said they aim to make the case to lawmakers and regulators that caps could constrict access to essential health professions and worsen provider shortages, particularly in underserved areas. The groups plan coordinated advocacy, data briefs, and outreach to congressional offices to press for exemptions or alternative financing models. Academic deans and financial‑aid offices at professional schools should expect renewed policy engagement on student borrowing limits and prepare impact analyses to inform negotiations with legislators.
