In a state like West Virginia, which suffers from critical shortages of physicians and other medical providers in many areas and specialties, the changes in federal student loan rules have created a new environment both students and administrators have to figure out how to navigate.

But, at least for now, officials from the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine and West Virginia University say students who accepted seats in their medical school classes of 2030 have been able to figure out how to pay the costs to attend.

And as part of a WVU training symposium, Kay hears from professionals who work with people affected by addiction about the cost on our medical system, social service networks and child protection workers.

Dr. James Berry of West Virginia University's Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute joined a discussion of What We Hide at the Carl "Rolly" Sullivan Addiction Training Institute in Morgantown. Berry is an addiction psychiatrist whose work focuses on treatment, recovery and the effects of addiction on individuals and families.</description><pubDate>Mon, 17 Aug 2026 00:00:00 -0400</pubDate><a10:updated>2026-08-17T14:57:35-04:00</a10:updated></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">c14892c3-00c5-46fc-b9ae-f57b8b9545e6</guid><link>https://www.hsc.wvu.edu/news/story?headline=school-of-public-health-students-selected-for-national-tiph-ambassador-program</link><category></category><title>School of Public Health students selected for national TIPH ambassador program</title><description>WVU School of Public Health students Eva Dillaman and Sabrina Thorn have been selected as 2026-2027 This Is Public Health Ambassadors, which is a program of the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health.</description><pubDate>Sun, 16 Aug 2026 00:00:00 -0400</pubDate><a10:updated>2026-08-20T13:38:25-04:00</a10:updated></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">ed37a477-8c8a-4048-b6a9-552891597802</guid><link>https://www.hsc.wvu.edu/news/story?headline=wvu-school-of-pharmacy-s-beta-eta-chapter-earns-national-honors-at-kappa-psi-convention</link><category></category><title>WVU School of Pharmacy's Beta Eta Chapter earns national honors at Kappa Psi convention</title><description /><pubDate>Fri, 14 Aug 2026 00:00:00 -0400</pubDate><a10:updated>2026-08-17T15:50:43-04:00</a10:updated></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">2c1b0017-d62e-4bba-8be8-71cc55fefaa6</guid><link>https://www.hsc.wvu.edu/news/story?headline=wvu-school-of-nursing-wvu-medicine-partner-to-provide-financial-educational-support-to-future-nurse-</link><category></category><title>WVU School of Nursing, WVU Medicine partner to provide financial, educational support to future nurse anesthetists </title><description>In a collaborative partnership, 11 intensive care unit nurses at WVU Medicine will receive an educational stipend toward the WVU School of Nursing's Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Nurse Anesthetist program in exchange for a four-year work agreement as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) after graduation.</description><pubDate>Mon, 10 Aug 2026 00:00:00 -0400</pubDate><a10:updated>2026-08-21T13:07:13-04:00</a10:updated></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">0d5f8f3e-aa25-4cff-aadc-4b9a8c0df4aa</guid><link>https://www.hsc.wvu.edu/news/story?headline=wvu-occupational-therapy-to-host-information-session</link><category>somenagae</category><title>WVU Occupational Therapy to host information session </title><description>The WVU Division of Occupational Therapy invites prospective students to learn more about their programs at an information session on August 26 at 5 p.m. in the OT Lab – HSC-S 1202.
