The resolution calls on the United States Congress to take necessary actions to classify the doctor of physical therapy degree, the master of physician assistant studies degree, and post-baccalaureate nursing degrees—including advanced practice registered nursing and doctoral nursing degrees—as professional degree programs eligible for enhanced federal student loan access. The Louisiana legislature emphasizes that this designation is crucial for ensuring equitable access to advanced health professional education, particularly for students from rural areas, which is vital for developing and retaining a skilled workforce in physical therapy, physician assistance, and nursing to meet the state's healthcare needs.

The resolution highlights that local education of healthcare professionals significantly increases the likelihood of them practicing in their training communities, and it warns that limiting federal student loan funding for these programs would disproportionately impact Louisiana residents and worsen existing rural healthcare shortages. To address these concerns, the resolution requests that copies be sent to the presiding officers of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, as well as to each member of the Louisiana congressional delegation.
