People who want to start a variety of healthcare careers may find it challenging to pursue their education due to a recent federal change.

Several positions were reclassified from a “professional degree” to a “graduate degree” under President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.”

Students in “professional” programs can borrow up to $50,000 a year, and $200,000 in total. All other graduate programs can borrow less than half of that figure, $20,500 per year and $100,000 overall.

The Department of Education recognizes the following programs
as professional:
- Pharmacy (Pharm.D.)
- Dentistry (D.D.S. or D.M.D.)
- Clinical Psychology (Psy.D. or Ph.D.)
- Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.)
- Chiropractic (D.C. or D.C.M.)
- Law (L.L.B. or J.D.)
- Medicine (M.D.)
- Optometry (O.D.)
- Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.)
- Podiatry (D.P.M., D.P., or Pod.D.)
- Theology (M.Div., or M.H.L.)

All the fields that were removed were majority female, according to the data, with percentages varying from 65% (physical therapists) to 88% (nurses) of women.

The policy begins on Jul 1, 2026.
