If I want to take a year off from medical school, is it better to put my loans in deferrment or forbearance during this time?

deferment 👍

forbearance 👎

Can somebody explain why deferment is better than forbearance. Because I just got a letter today saying my loans were in forbearance.

During forebearance all the loans accrue interest (subsidized and unsubsidized).
