Dear Obama Administration,
We are writing on behalf of all Doctor's of Physical Therapy (DPT) around the nation. The majority of DPT students have been in school for at least seven years before graduating with a doctoral degree. By this time, many of us have an immense amount of student loan debt.
The National Health Services Corp (NHSC) provides funds to health professionals to repay student loans. Currently, physical therapist's are not included among the health professionals within this program. We are here to advocate for our profession to be added to the NHSC.
As DPT's, we are a critical part to the healthcare system, and we hope to be recognized as a valued profession, in need of student loan repayment opportunities. Please, strongly consider our proposition.
