Original caption
The bill for becoming a healer. DOs, podiatrists, and dentists are walking out of school with the highest median student debt in healthcare — often $200k–$250k+. MDs aren’t far behind. PAs, PTs, and NPs carry less, but six figures is still common. High debt doesn’t automatically mean a bad career. It does mean you need a repayment plan before you sign the promissory notes. Save this if you’re choosing a path (or already in one). Drop your profession + roughly what you owe (or expect to owe). What’s your repayment strategy — PSLF, refinance, aggressive payoff, or still figuring it out? #StudentDebt #HealthcareCareers #MedicalSchool #StudentLoans #residencylife
