Celebrating the long road to physician loan forgiveness today- my mom just sent a photo of my dad visiting me as a resident at Children’s National. Saw the quote “If you can dream it, you can do it”- my dad was also Walt (Gray). Missing you Dad, would love to share this with you!
Completed 10 years of public student loan forgiveness- 120 payments while working in public health clinics and for medical schools! Can’t believe this long shot actually worked. Thank you Biden!
