Dear Speaker Johnson and Leader Jeffries,
On behalf of the physicians our organizations represent, we write today to express our concerns with many of the changes to federal student loans contained in Section III of the legislation, “Providing for reconciliation pursuant to H.Con.Res. 14, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2025” which was favorably reported out of the House Committee on Education and Workforce on April 29, 2025.
As the population in the United States continues to grow and age, demand is greater than ever for physicians in every corner of the country. Yet, according to a recent report from the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), the United States will face a shortage of up to 86,000 physicians by 2036. To address this shortage, we must not only sustain but grow the number of students graduating from medical school.
