Presented By: CAL/AAEM and AAEM/RSA’s Medical Student Council
In the United States, approximately 75% of medical students graduate with educational debt, averaging $300,000—and in some cases, exceeding $700,000. Against this backdrop, future physicians face critical questions:
- What repayment strategies provide the most sustainable path forward?
- How can physicians achieve financial stability without sacrificing well-being?
- What are the potential impacts of HR1 on educational debt and what might this mean for the future workforce?
To address these challenges, CAL/AAEM and AAEM/RSA’s Medical Student Council are hosting a focused financial webinar designed to equip current and future emergency medicine physicians with practical knowledge and actionable strategies. Our goal is to support the EM community in pursuing greater financial independence, which is foundational to a strong and resilient workforce.
