Medical Student Loans - Refinancing and Consolidation

Medical Students who currently have loans, either a single loan or multiple loans, have a variety of options for reducing their payments and debt. Interest rates have fallen, loans can be consolidated or in some cases refinanced. Medical student finances are only different from other student situations because lenders realize the earning potential of an MD. Although each lender will have different qualification and requirements for refinancing more doors are open to medical students.

If your monthly payments are too high, extending the duration of your loan can be helpful in reducing the monthly payment. By extending the period over which you repay your loans each payment is smaller. Keep in mind though that longer loan terms usually mean higher interest rates, and more interest payments and thus increase your debt. In the long run you end up paying more, but the payments are more manageable and sometimes that alone makes it worth while.
