Veterinary Interns and Residents Webinar Presented by the VIN Foundation

Veterinary Interns and Residents -- Do you know the best way to handle your student loans? Hint: It’s NOT deferment!

Conventional wisdom in the medical training community is to defer loans while pursuing internships and/or residencies. However, income-driven repayment (IDR) is often a much better option for veterinarians pursuing advanced education who carry federal student debt.

Join Dr. Tony Bartels (a leading authority on U.S. veterinary student debt) for this special Climbing Mt. Debt session to see if you are doing all you can as an intern or resident to save money and reduce your student debt stress from here on out starting today.

Choosing the right student loan repayment strategy for your situation can save you a ton of time, money, and stress -- a concept VIN Foundation calls Repay Wiser.

In this webinar Tony demystifies the most difficult aspects of loan repayment for interns and residents:

1) What’s the “best” way to repay your student loans?
2) What is your debt to income ratio now?
3) What is your debt to income ratio after your training?
4) Will your internship/residency count towards PSLF?
5) How do you know when to adjust your repayment strategy?

Join Tony Bartels, DVM, MBA to learn the steps you need to take now during your internship(s) and residency years to save time, money, and stress on your student loans!

Time: Jun 23, 2021 05:00 PM in Pacific Time (US and Canada)
