Beginning in 2017 estimated interest on loans was no longer calculated.
It is important for students to know how much they have borrowed, what their monthly payments might be and how these payment obligations will be met considering their future income as an intern, resident and physician. Each year we provide our students with updated individual borrowing histories. Students and graduates can also review their federal educational debt records by accessing the Federal Student Aid (FSA) site. Your FSA account information should be routinely monitored, and discrepancies resolved as quickly as possible.
