Video: Panel discusses challenges, costs of educating for health care career

"The pandemic has made it really challenging to be a health care worker right now," said Kyla Siemens, who is in her second year studying to be a physician assistant at Pacific University's Hillsboro campus. She was one of three students involved in a panel discussion Wednesday with U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Oregon, who shares Siemens' concern that a variety of factors will discourage people from entering the health care industry.
