1/29/07, Noon-1pm	MSB 2.006	Chapter Meeting – “Evaluating and Understanding the Student Loan Consolidation Process for Medical Students and Residents” Each year many resident physicians and medical students carry around a significant amount of their loans unconsolidated and facing the burden of paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in loan repayments. Worrying about loan repayments affects your ability to freely be the doctor you are trained to be without the pressure of that heavy financial obligation. Many residents and medical students don't consolidate because they don't understand the procedures involved and are uncomfortable dealing with finances. This seminar will help you learn the basics of loan consolidation and identify the program that will best meet your financial needs. Speaker: Joseph M. Cox, DMin; National Program Director, US Education Finance Group; (888) 741-6584, ext. 119 Powerpoint presentation
