A quick but useful episode today: Vikram Raya recognizes the substantial debt that most medical students graduate with and how it can feel overwhelming.

“To be honest with you, if you didn’t have the debt, you couldn’t have gone to school, right? Thankfully, someone loaned us the money… to go through all this education essentially for free.”
