Understanding Student Loan Forgiveness
For attending physicians, navigating student loans begins with understanding the significance of loan forgiveness options. The Public Service Loan Forgiveness program offers a unique avenue where remaining debts are forgiven after making 120 qualifying monthly payments while employed at a non-profit organization. Physicians must be cautious, as refinancing their loans could eliminate their eligibility for this beneficial program, making it crucial to confirm eligibility before making any financial decisions. Therefore, if a physician qualifies for loan forgiveness, it is generally advisable to refrain from refinancing student loans.
