Financial Wellness
The College of Medicine is dedicated to providing our students with financial wellness resources so that you grow the knowledge you need throughout the lifecycle of your healthcare career, starting before you begin medical school to after you have completed your training. This is one critical aspect of the College’s efforts to manage student debt.
