Student Loan Strategy

PSLF, PAYE, SAVE, and refinancing — modeled against your actual employer type and loan balance, not generic advice that ignores physician-specific timelines.

What's included

PSLF eligibility, checked properly Employer type (nonprofit, government, academic) and payment history determine PSLF eligibility; checked against your actual situation.
Repayment plan modeling PSLF vs. PAYE vs. SAVE vs. refinancing, compared side by side for your real numbers.
Timed to training and career stage The right strategy during residency is often different from the right strategy five years into practice.

Physician student loan balances are large enough that the difference between PSLF eligibility and refinancing can be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars over a career — and the eligibility rules (employer type, payment count, loan type) are specific enough that generic “should I refinance” content doesn’t actually answer the question.

DocNation models these scenarios and connects you with student loan specialists who work specifically with physician debt loads, rather than generic financial advice that doesn’t account for a resident’s income trajectory.

The right strategy also changes by career stage: a resident on an income-driven plan working toward PSLF is making a different bet than an attending five years past training who’s given up on PSLF eligibility and is optimizing for payoff speed instead.
