Student Loan Advocacy & Support for AOA Members

Student Loan Professor (formerly Doctors Without Quarters) can assist graduating students and continuing residents and fellows seeking to utilize federal programs such as income-driven loan repayment or Public Service Loan Forgiveness.

In addition, as an AOA member, you’re entitled to a 25% discount on initial consultations with coupon code “AOA25.”

Refinancing Suitability Analysis

SLP/DWOQ offers free refinancing suitability analysis for those considering refinancing to lower rates. If refinancing makes economic sense for you, we will introduce you to a competitive lender (or lenders) and advocate you in the process. SoFi currently offers a .25% rate reduction* to AOA members. Refinancing is an option for those transitioning to practice, currently in practice or with a high household income.
