[Alex Shepard · Rating 5 out of 5]

Definitely a re-reader. I think this book will be super helpful in progressing through medical school trying to figure out the best plan to pay off loans in a timely and efficient manner.

Pretty niche book, but I enjoyed it.

Great and Thorough Look At Student Loans

This book does an amazing job of understanding and communicating the actual details of student loans. I especially appreciated the excerpts he used from government resources and regulations. This is a must read for entering and exiting medical students.

[Florence · Rating 5 out of 5]

Concise book about medical student loans that is wonderfully thorough without being too technical or unnecessarily detailed. This book even discusses how to run the numbers for medical students who are married to medical students / residents / attendings. A must-read for every medical student with loans, and it's offered for free on Ben White's website, too!

[Caleb · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great overview of medical student loans. After reading this book with very little prior knowledge, I feel confident how to approach loans going forward while also feeling like I gained a few tricks along the way.

Informative and important

Great book that hit the important points of medical student loans without getting too nitty gritty. I appreciate the down to earth style.
