Coming changes in health care education?

Healthcare schooling and reimbursement are getting out of hand.

I recently looked at the new AUD- Doctorate of Audiology that is required to practice. Comparing the “new” 3 year, plus one year for accreditation hrs, looks like I took more classes to get my M.A. then they take now. Also, they get credit for clinical, we did that every semester for non-credit hrs in addition to the 15 credit hrs we were taking. This change is a joke… an expensive one at that.

No reason why most classed can’t be taken undergrad and fewer filler (60 credits) of electives and gen eds. My engineering son has no elective hrs, few gen eds and all the rest double engineering major whish is harder than all these undergrads (in my opinion). He’ll graduate in 4 years with two B.S. degrees for the cost of 4 undergrad years. Many M.A. degrees could be completed as B.A./B.S. degrees if they would alter this. If they can do it for engineering, why not everything else?
