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.
