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.

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.
Details for the IDR Account Adjustment are finally here, and they are fantastic!
