Medforth Global Healthcare Education announced it is collaborating with Sallie Mae, the leader in private student lending, to make responsible financing solutions available to healthcare students at Medforth's two healthcare education institutions: Rocky Vista University, a leading college of osteopathic medicine with campuses in Colorado, Montana and Utah; and St. George's University, in Grenada, a premier international medical school and the largest provider of new doctors into first-year US residencies for the past 11 years.
The new financing solutions, which are specifically designed for medical, veterinary and healthcare professional students, will be available to students at Medforth's schools ahead of the phase out of the federal Grad PLUS loan program which is set to begin July 1, 2026. The collaborative effort seeks to provide students with confidence in their financial plans that free them to focus on their classroom studies and essential clinical training.
"Our students at Rocky Vista University and St. George's University are the future of healthcare in America, and we are excited to work with Sallie Mae, the leader in private education lending, to explore financing solutions that support our students' ambitions and eagerness to serve and care for patients around the country," said Dr. Gaurov Dayal, Chief Executive Officer of Medforth Global Healthcare Education. "As a leading provider of both allopathic and osteopathic physicians, securing financing access for our students is a significant contribution to the future of the healthcare workforce."
Working together with Sallie Mae, Medforth Global Healthcare Education will provide access to financing solutions for medical, veterinary and healthcare professional students at its schools, drawing on Sallie Mae's sector-leading student benefits and support initiatives.
