I took out a couple of Subsidized loans and Perkins loans during undergrad and will be attending medical school next year. Will the government continue to pay interest on these loans while I am in medical school or will interest start accruing next year? Thanks.

As long as you're in-school the government pays interest on subsidized loans. But you will accrue interest on them until you start medical school if you've graduated.
