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. Prior to graduating from dental school, I had researched the available income-driven repayment plans, but I there was little information tailored to young dentists. This course is designed to fill that void and review strategies with young dentists to manage their student loans.
