Synopsis:
Student loans are a challenge for many current dental students and young dentists. This course is applicable to current students, recent graduates, and practitioners who have not refinanced their federal student loans. As a general dentist who graduated in 2015, I am currently repaying my student loans under PAYE and have dedicated a significant amount of time to understand my own situation.
