Show Notes

Are student loans preventing you from making the career moves you want, or are student loans preventing you from the work/life balance you deserve? Student loan forgiveness for doctors is a real thing - yes, even for high earners, and those with LOTS of debt. 

In fact, worry about student loans and salary changes are among the very top concerns from my listeners who want a career change. There’s a lot to learn, so I brought in a true expert! The laws are tricky, and some are time sensitive (thanks, COVID) so listen TODAY to understand more about your student loan forgiveness options. You may have more than you think!

In this episode of The Career Rx we’ll discuss:

  • The history of student loan forgiveness legislation and recent changes
  • How to find trustworthy, experienced help to review your unique situation
  • Time-sensitive student loan forgiveness issues you’ll want to explore STAT!

Today’s episode is an interview with Travis Hornsby, CFA and CFP, with special expertise in six-figure student loans for physicians, veterinarians, and other healthcare professionals. We take a deep dive into the history of loan forgiveness and some detailed steps on how to review your loans and possibilities for forgiveness. 

In speaking with Travis for this episode, I learned that some policies intended for COVID emergency relief will be ending on May 11th, 2023 - unleashing the potential for new sets of rules, expiration of certain opportunities, and even some lawsuits to add to the chaos. So, I literally bumped all of my other episodes in the publishing queue and put this out immediately. I hope it helps you! And while I don’t get any kickback or referral fee, if you happen to reach out to Travis, please let him know I sent you :)
