Financial Wellness and Debt Management Service
At Meharry Medical College School of Medicine, we are committed to preparing our students not only for the practice of medicine but also for the financial realities that come with it. Our mission is to provide medical students and recent graduates with the tools, knowledge, and individualized support to effectively manage debt, reduce financial stress, and build a foundation for long-term financial wellness. By addressing the challenges of educational debt and the cost of medical training, we aim to empower students to focus on their calling to serve patients and communities, graduating with confidence, resilience, and a clear path toward financial stability and professional success.
Welcome! At the School of Medicine, we know that preparing for a career in medicine means more than mastering science and clinical skills, it also means preparing for the financial responsibilities that come with your journey. That’s why our Office of Financial Wellness and Debt Management is here to walk alongside you.
Our mission is simple: to equip you with the knowledge, tools, and personalized support you need to manage debt wisely, reduce financial stress, and lay the groundwork for long-term financial stability. Whether you’re navigating the cost of medical education, planning for repayment, or thinking ahead to life after graduation, this office exists to empower you to make confident, informed decisions.
This webpage will serve as your hub for resources, guidance, and services dedicated to financial wellness. We encourage you to start here before having conversations with the Meharry Financial Aid Office, so you are better prepared and supported in understanding your financial picture.
You are not alone on this journey, your goals and dreams matter, and our office is here to ensure financial stress doesn’t stand in the way of your success.
We look forward to working with you and supporting you every step of the way.
Warm regards,
Kristie M. Law,
