Financial Wellness

Students in class

Financial Wellness "Building a head start to your finances."


As part of our ongoing initiative to encourage financial literacy, the Office of Student Financial Aid Services has partnered with the  Association of American Medical Colleges to provide a personal finance program designed for medical and dental students, providing the tools needed to establish healthy financial habits through school and  beyond graduation.

This program is for all students of both the School of Medicine and School of Dental Medicine, and consists of live webinars, town hall question and answer sessions, in-person presentations and monthly coursework.    To register for this free programming, please create an account at aamcfinancialwellness.com  

Each month during the academic year students will be assigned coursework and asked to complete by month's end.  Students will receive e-mails notifying them of this coursework on the first, fifteenth and end of the month.  The office Facebook page will also have these updates.  Progress is tracked and reported to the appropriate dean.

Financial Wellness Calendar

The financial wellness program has ended for the 2023-2024 academic year.  Thank you for participating in our webinars and presentations.  The calendar for 2024-2025 will be posted later this summer.  We look forward to seeing you in 2024-2025.

 

 

     

    Financial Planning for Residency

    For students looking to plan residency trips and interviews, the AAMC has created a web page that outlines the costs for ERAS applications, the National Resident Matching Program, and links for additional information and resources. The AAMC have also produced an extensive video in response to comments and questions from medical students regarding the process of applying and paying for residency.

    Fast Facts

    In the same time it takes you to scroll through TikTok you can watch a video that will help you better understand your financial aid.  We will post new videos periodically touching on topics like fee bills, charges, aid offers, adjusting your aid and more.
