Protect AHM Education & Access to Student Loans

As discussed in recent member meetings, the U.S. Department of Education has issued a proposed rule that could affect federal student loan access for licensure-leading Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine programs. If not addressed, the proposal could significantly reduce loan limits for AHM students and create new barriers to entry into the profession.
