The first step in managing your education debt is organizing your student loan records. Once you have all your documents organized in a single place, you will be better prepared to manage your debt during repayment. To help you stay organized throughout residency, the AAMC has created an online resource specifically designed for medical students and residents to safely and securely organize and save loan portfolio information as well as calculate various repayment options. This tool will help you understand the impact (total interest cost) of each of the different repayment strategies.
