HSVMA is partnering with VIN Foundation to bring you this special webinar!

Non-profit veterinarians and support professionals — Do you know the best way to handle your student loans?

Conventional wisdom says you should pay your loans back as fast as possible. However, federal income-driven repayment (IDR) options and Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) are often a much better strategy for many veterinarians and support professionals.

Choosing the right student loan repayment strategy for your situation can save you a ton of time, money, and stress — a concept VIN Foundation calls Repay Wiser.

Join Dr. Tony Bartels (a leading authority on U.S. veterinary student debt) for this special Climbing Mt. Debt session to see if you are doing all you can as a non-profit employee veterinarian or support professional to save money and reduce your student debt stress. Special guest Heather Schrader, RVT, MCJ will also join to share how she received forgiveness under the Temporary Expanded PSLF program! Heather is the Program Manager of Student Outreach for HSVMA.

In this webinar Tony demystifies the most difficult aspects of loan repayment:

1) What’s the “best” way to repay your student loans?
2) How can you use your debt to income ratio to create a plan?
3) What is PSLF and how do I make sure I’m on track for forgiveness
4) How do I make sense of all the PSLF changes: TEPSLF, waivers, loan servicers quitting?
5) How do you know when to adjust your repayment strategy?

This webinar has a suggested Student Debt & Income Signalment short “homework” assignment to compete prior to the session. The secure form should take only about 10 minutes to complete and will help with customizing the session content: https://surveys.vin.com/s3/HSVMA-MtDebt-Dec2021.

Completing the pre-session homework also helps with receiving personalized assistance after the session.
