Guys, quick question...

I would like to go to a Specialty Residency program, however this program actually requires ME to pay tuition...

Now I already have a good amount of debt accumulated from dental school...

My question is: Will I still be able to get the same type of loans for the Residency program that I did for Dental School? Does it work the same way? Thank you.

I think they will give you less than what they gave you in dental school.

I maxed out my loans when I was in dental school and I also borrowed the residency/relocation loan right before I finished dental school. When I started my ortho residency, I only got $7000 to live for the entire year after I paid all the necessary fees (tuition, books, instruments etc).
