Can someone please help me get a clue about what to do with my private loans from med school. I took out an additional $15K above and beyond my stafford loans during my 4 years. I have consolidated the staffords, but I am not sure what I can do with the private loans (from access).

Can I consolidate them at all?

Can I defer them during residency?

Any insight would be much appreciated
