The Resident Education Deferred Interest Act has been reintroduced in the House and Senate.
Three notes for dentists:
1. The REDI Act would allow medical and dental students to defer payments on federal student loans and delay interest accrual until after students complete their residencies.
2. S.942 and H.R.2028, which were both introduced March 11, are supported by several organizations, including the American Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, the American Academy of Family Physicians and the American College of Physicians.
3. The Resident Education Deferred Interest Act was last introduced in 2023.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
