Understanding Student Loan Updates for Doctors

Student loan rules are changing again. In this episode of Doctors Eyes Only, Vestia CEO Lauren Oschman, CFP®, CDFA® talks with Vestia Financial Advisor Chris Robbins, CFP® about how the recent “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” impacts physicians with federal student loans.Topics covered include:Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) remains available for physicians working at nonprofit hospitals and academic institutions.The SAVE plan is being eliminated. RAP (Repayment Assistance Plan) is expected to take its place, while older plans like PAYE, REPAYE, and ICR will be phased out by July 2026.IBR remains an option, with payments based on either 15 percent or 10 percent of discretionary income depending on when the loans originated. After 2026, IBR will no longer be available for new borrowers. SAVE forbearance months do not count toward PSLF, unlike COVID forbearance. Chris explains how physicians can return to qualifying repayment plans.The buyback program may allow borrowers to make up missed or disqualified payments after completing 120 months of qualifying employment, but its future is uncertain. Best practices include submitting employer certification forms annually and using the Loan Simulator at studentaid.gov to review repayment options.Refinancing through private lenders may make sense for some physicians, though federal protections and PSLF eligibility are lost once loans are moved out of the federal system.If you are a physician with questions about student loan repayment, PSLF eligibility, or refinancing, connect with our team at www.vestiaadvisors.com/contact/.  #FinancialPlanningForPhysicians #StudentLoansForDoctors #PhysicianRetirementPlanning #WealthManagementForDoctors #PSLF #WomenPhysicians #PhysicianFinance

Home, Community, and Call Nights: Real Estate Planning for Doctors on the Move

In this episode of the Doctors Eyes Only podcast, Vestia CEO Lauren Oschman, CFP®, CDFA® sits down with Amanda Baron, a Nashville-based Realtor and the wife of a physician, who brings a unique perspective to the real estate challenges medical families face. Amanda shares how her own experience relocating for her husband’s medical career inspired her to specialize in helping physician families not only find a home, but also feel truly connected to their new community.Amanda discusses how she supports physician families relocating from out of state, many of whom are juggling packed clinical schedules, overnight call shifts, and limited flexibility to travel. Because physicians often cannot leave their current responsibilities to house hunt, it’s common for one spouse, often with young kids in tow, to lead the process alone. In many cases, the physician doesn’t see the home until after closing. Amanda describes how she steps in to bridge that gap by educating and guiding families remotely. She serves as their boots on the ground, evaluating commute routes for emergency access, checking internet reliability for telehealth and charting, and identifying local resources to support physician lifestyles. Her approach blends logistical expertise with deep empathy, ensuring both partners feel confident and supported throughout the transition.Lauren and Amanda explore how physician-specific mortgage strategies can align with a family’s financial plan. Amanda explains how she helps physician clients secure builder incentives while using these special loan programs, and how those choices can fit into broader goals such as building equity or preparing a home to become a future rental property. They also discuss how neighborhood dynamics, school systems, and community support play a critical role in setting physician families up for success, especially when moving to a new city without an established network.Amanda shares more about her podcast, Behind the White Coat, which she created to provide real talk and support for other physician spouses navigating the ups and downs of medical life. She’s passionate about making sure no physician family feels isolated in their journey and is building a growing network of connection and encouragement.To learn more or connect with Amanda: • Visit ABTNHomes.com • Follow Amanda on Instagram @AmandaBaronRealtor • Listen to her podcast Behind the White CoatSubscribe to Doctors Eyes Only for more episodes focused on financial planning and life strategy tailored for physicians and their families.
