This week on Strata Stories, Part 2 of Dana Strauss’s "State of the State," she breaks down the uproar around the “professional” designation, dispels common myths about what it means for the DPT, and connects it to the real issue beneath the surface: how education costs, loan caps, and workforce access intersect.

In Part 2, she covers:
✅ What the degree designation change really means (and what it doesn’t)
✅ How loan caps, financing, and ROI are shaping the future of DPT programs
✅ What changes may be necessary at the academic level to keep the profession sustainable
✅ How therapy can better justify appropriate loan limits to policymakers
✅ Where digital and access models can either hurt or strengthen the profession’s value story

This conversation goes beyond labels and headlines.
It’s about access, affordability, outcomes, and how rehab therapy positions itself for the future.
