Section B
Your Financial Life
Why Money Management Matters to Medical Students
As a future medical professional, you can expect a very rewarding future, both professionally and financially. But you may not have expected the key financial issues you’ll need to deal with in the short term to help ensure that rewarding future.
For example, do you know the answers to the following questions?
1. What receipts should you save now so that you can claim significant future tax benefits when you start your practice?
2. What saves you more money — consolidating your student loans on graduation or paying multiple student loans to maximize tax savings from government interest?
3. What happens to government financial loans and support if you choose to take a leave of absence to start a family during medical school or residency?
You’ll find the answer to these questions and many others in this chapter, or you can visit RBC Royal Bank. And while you’ll have many important financial decisions to make in the future, you don’t have to make those decisions on your own. With special products and services tailored specifically to medical students, as well as RBC Student Champions to assist you, RBC Royal Bank can provide the expertise you need to meet your current financial goals and build a secure future.
