Who is this service for?

This service is intended for pharmacists that resonate with one or more of the following:

Overwhelmed with student loans and unsure what path to take once the administrative forbearance expires from the CARES Act
Confused by all the repayment plans that exist
Unsure if your strategy will save you the most money
Anxious about how to handle your loans during residency or fellowship
Worried about doing everything right for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program

What will this service help me do?

Analyze all of the payoff strategies available to you
Confidently choose a plan that will save you the most money and align with your goals
Optimize strategies to maximize the benefits of forgiveness programs

Can't I just do this on my own?

While some people may find that determining a repayment strategy is straightforward and easy to navigate, others may have a difficult time confidently choosing a plan that aligns best with their situation and goals. Pharmacists, on average, graduate with student loans that creep up over $179,000! Aside from a home purchase, this is likely the largest amount of debt that you'll have to pay back. We want to help you avoid making mistakes along the way that can cost you tens of thousands of dollars (or more!) or tag on additional years of repayment.

Is a student loan analysis for everyone?

If you've paid off your student loans, congratulations! While we'd love to talk to you, obviously this service isn't for you. If you have already refinanced you federal loans to all private loans this may not be the right service for you either. Feel free to email us at yfp@yourfinancialpharmacist.com if you have questions about your private loans.
