The second part of my eight part webinar series on QuantiaMD is now up. It's entitled Student Loan Management and deals with minimizing your loan burden in medical school, using IBR/PAYE and the forgiveness programs through PAYE and PSLF, and student loan refinancing. It runs just 7:39 and is a combination of Powerpoint and audio.
QuantiaMD is for doctors, mid-levels and other health care workers. It is an online educational resource filled with lots of presentations, mostly on clinical medicine. In order to view other presentations, you’ll need to sign up, which requires proving you’re a doctor.
However, they've set up this series so my regular readers of any professional persuasion will be able to view them. No transcript is available, but they do put together a rather nice audiovisual presentation.
This week I’ll be taking and answering questions about the presentation on QuantiaMD, but you can post them here any time.

What do you think of this format? How about the content? Did I miss anything important? What was your approach to your student loans? Comment below!
Thanks for the lecture. I don’t want to register for QuantiaMD though. I have learned so much from you…wish I knew this stuff five years ago.
You were able to see it without registering, right?
Yes, perfectly. Just no comments there.
This could have potentially really changed considerations to refinance with private lenders :

Without a doubt. A move like that by the government would put plenty of folks out of business, to the benefit of student loan debtors every where.
Just my 2 cents, I’m not sure how the “grandfathering in” would work if the PSLF program goes a way / or changes (to a much lower cap of forgiveness), since you don’t even apply until you have collected 10 years of repayments under your belt. I think the first beneficiaries of the PSLF program would get their payout in 2017 and if we’re already talking about capping the forgiveness total, I don’t have much hope for the program sticking around in its current form past 2018.. Very good lecture
