Extends eligibility for Primary Care Practitioner Loan Redemption Program to physical therapists.
This bill, S 3666, expands New Jersey's Primary Care Practitioner Loan Redemption Program to include physical therapists as eligible participants. Currently, the program helps healthcare professionals like doctors, dentists, and nurse practitioners reduce student loan debt by working in underserved areas, but physical therapists were previously excluded. The bill amends eligibility requirements to explicitly add "physical therapist" to the list of qualifying professionals under the program. This change allows physical therapists working in designated underserved areas to access the same loan redemption benefits - up to $120,000 in repayment - without altering existing program rules like the service location requirements or funding limits.
