Don’t Poke Your Assistant!

Student Loan Payback Options

If you are like most dental professionals, you probably have student load debt. And possibly a lot of it.
In this episode of the Dental Alements Podcast you will learn:
Strategies to pay off your loans quicker 
What types of programs are best for you 
How to work with a wealth advisor
Financial goals and planning
And much more
Mark Johnson is a thirty-year veteran of the investment and financial planning industry and a pioneer in helping emerging dental professionals with student loan repayment strategies. Since foundingStudentLoansRx in 2014, Mark has educated thousands of emerging dental professionals on smart repayment strategies and has helped hundreds create plans to tackle their student loan debt within the context of an overall financial plan. Upon realizing that there were over 7,500 dental school graduates and residents entering the workforce each year, with anywhere from $300k-$700k or more in student loan debt, Mark knew he had to do something to help them. 
Mark's in-depth knowledge of the various federal and private student loan repayment programs, along with his three decades in the investment and financial planning industry, allows him to create custom plans for his dental clients based on their career path (associate, public health, practice ownership and residency) and other financial goals, including insurance and investment planning.
