This presentation highlights the need for greater transparency about the true costs of graduate education and share effective strategies to help prospective and current students stay informed about these financial realities through lessons learned from the facilitator and engagement with the audience. Moreover, this presentation explores practical ways, beyond loans and competitive scholarships, for graduate students to make their training more affordable so they can more fully engage in their clinical training.
