New Student Loan Rules: The $100K Mistake

Listen Later

One student loan decision in the next few weeks could cost — or save — a physician six figures.

On May 1, 2026, the Department of Education finalized the 134-page rule rewriting federal student loan repayment.  Dr. Jimmy Turner goes solo to break down what changed and the moves that protect six figures.

What you'll learn:

  • Why the July 1, 2026 cutoff decide whether you keep IBR at all
  • The consolidation trap that can permanently lock residents out of IBR
  • The RAP interest subsidy that keeps a $300K balance from ballooning during residency
  • The RAP-to-IBR playbook for PSLF: which payments count, and when to switch
  • Married or in a community property state? How filing separately changes the math
