Since I wont be having a job or outside funds while in med school for the next 4 years, I have to pay my current debt somehow. How do I start paying back my debt with med school loans? Do I get a lump sum or do I get loaned in increments?
Basically, I want to be able to transfer my credit card debt (high interest) to my med school (lower interest) as fast as possible without hindering my ability to pay tuition along with living expenses but I don't know the basics of the loaning process enough to make a plan.
FYI: I'm fortunate enough to attend an instate med school with ~12k tuition/yr if that helps.
