These 28 states offer student loan repayment programs for medical students

Twenty-eight states and Washington, D.C., offer a variety of loan repayment programs for medical students, according to a database maintained by the Association of American Medical Colleges. 

The Biden administration's Aug. 24 announcement to forgive up to $20,000 in student loan debt for individuals earning less than $125,000 a year has shed a light on the student debt burden faced by medical students. Medical students graduated with an average of $203,062 in education debt in 2021, data from the Association of American Medical Colleges revealed. 

The organization's database, which is updated annually, details state and federal programs available to medical and other healthcare profession students. Becker's also compiled a list of the four states offering student loan forgiveness.
