Financial Wellness Services
The Heersink School of Medicine’s financial wellness program is designed to equip our students with the skills they need to be successful financially. This program focuses on the ability to manage personal finance matters and it includes the knowledge of making appropriate decisions about finance, such as budgeting, loan repayment options, and saving.
The mission of the program is to ensure students are confident and empowered about money matters with an assurance they will be able to pay back their student loans.
The goal of the program is to make sure students have the resources they need to make financial decisions while they concentrate on their medical school education.
