Abstract
Not all medical professionals make money the main focus of their careers. However, all medical professionals who borrowed money to pursue their careers need help navigating their student loan obligations. Rather than create a quickly outdated general guide on various repayment options, this article is meant to help physician leaders develop effective strategies for payback or forgiveness that make the most sense given the type of income a medical professional has, what type of role they are in, and the degree of flexibility they may have in their career.
