Medical school is expensive. In fact, according to AAMC Medical Student Education: Debt, Costs and Loan Repayment Fact Card 2016, a majority of students, nationally, leave medical school with at least $100,000 in debt; nearly half leave with $200,000 or more.

To help you identify loans, budget wisely, and even find scholarships and grants, Kevin shares his five tips he wishes he would've known as a premed.
