I've seen many healthcare professionals qualify for some type of student loan forgiveness. I've also seen programs involving rural areas or working with kids.

Does anyone have any info regarding student loan forgiveness programs for PTs? I've seen some proposed in legislation, but I can't find a good place to research possible options.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

If you work in a healthcare network that is a 501c3 instead of private practice, your loans can be 100% forgiven after 10 years of minimum payments.

All you need to know: LINK

But if you have any questions, I work in higher education, and this program is one of my areas of expertise. I will be happy to answer any questions. One of the things I would recommend is that if your loan balance is greater than your adjusted gross income, you can qualify for forgiveness in the lower cost income-driven plans rather than making the standard payment. This is very typical of early career medical professionals.

If you find any, let me know. I'm paying $1220 a month for my wife's.

That was the 10 year plan. We're on year 4 and I'm finally about to be able to start hitting it hard. With the interest accruing, I really wish I could've done it sooner.

No. But hopefully they don't.

DPT here. For my loans, I traveled for 3 years, busted my arse and took the most lucrative job offers around the country and paid my 93k off in 25 months. I highly recommend it.
