I’m seeking U.S.-based doctors for a Medscape article on loan repayment and forgiveness options for medical school graduates. This piece will explore realistic paths physicians can take after graduation to manage or reduce their medical school debt. Looking for insight on: • Federal programs (e.g., PSLF, NHSC, etc.) • State- or employer-sponsored repayment options • Guidance for physicians who don’t qualify for forgiveness programs • Tips for navigating the system or avoiding common mistakes Requirements: • U.S.-based sources only • Please include your full name, title, and credentials exactly as you would like them listed • Credentials must be verifiable • Ideal sources include physicians who’ve used these programs. Only quotes with full attribution will be used. Thank you in advance for your insight. Feel free to answer the questions that apply most to your situation — no need to cover them all. 1. Did you carry medical school debt? If so, approximately how much, and what repayment plan did you choose? 2. What factors influenced your repayment decision? (e.g., job type, income, eligibility for PSLF, interest rates) 3. Did your debt load affect your specialty choice or first job out of residency? 4. Have you used — or are you currently using — a federal loan forgiveness program? What has your experience been like so far? 5. What advice would you give to medical students or residents just starting to think about loan repayment? 6. Looking back, is there anything you would have done differently?

Seeking U.S.-based experts in pulmonology to comment on innovations in COPD and asthma care I am working on a Medscape article about new approaches to managing COPD and asthma that go beyond standard inhaler therapy. I am seeking U.S.-based pulmonologists, researchers, or physicians with experience in pulmonary medicine to share insights on emerging strategies in clinical practice and research. Questions: What innovations in COPD and asthma care are you seeing beyond pharmacotherapy (e.g., breathing techniques, pulmonary rehab, personalized approaches)? Are you using or researching personalized oxygen protocols? If so, how do they compare with standard oxygen therapy? What role do biologic or precision-medicine therapies play in COPD and asthma management today? What barriers exist in implementing these newer approaches (cost, access, adherence)? How can primary care providers best incorporate or refer for these innovations? Looking ahead, what developments are most promising for improving COPD and asthma outcomes over the next 5 years? Consent Note: By responding, you consent to being quoted in a Medscape article with attribution. Quotes may be lightly edited for clarity, style, and flow. Please disclose any potential conflicts of interest (such as financial relationships with relevant companies or organizations).
