Events
Each year the Financial Aid Office hosts a number of seminars that we collectively call the Financial Wellness Series (FWS).
These seminars are targeted toward helping students make informed decisions
concerning their financial well-being. Because these seminars are presented for you, the student, we appreciate your input. If you have suggestions for
future topics, please let us know. We will begin planning for the 2009-10 sessions soon.
Financial Wellness Series 2008-09 Seminars
February 11 - Taxing Matters, presented by Mel Stephens,
National Student Loan Program. Find out about filing requirements and how
to take advantage of available tax credits and deductions so you won't pay
Uncle Sam more than necessary.
February 11 - A Financial Rx for New Doctors, presented by
Med Stephens, National Student Loan Program. Attending this seminar will
increase participants' understanding of developing a healthy budget, taming
credit card and other debt, managing student loan debt and initiating a
savings plan.

housing market and credit situation and explain mortgage terms, etc.
March 11 – Understanding and Managing Your Student Loan Portfolio, presented by Mr. Paul Garrard, President, PGPresents, LLC
This interactive session will provide a “deep dive” into your student loan portfolio and will look at what is happening to your student loans during medical school and as you leave medical school and enter your residency program. There will also be an important emphasis on recent legislative changes that will impact your ability to defer your federal student loans during residency.
The first session took place on March 11 at noon and was geared toward first, second and third year medical students.
The second was an evening session, also on March 11. This presentation was geared toward graduating students and house officers.
Please call our office with any questions that you might have after watching these videos.
