Complimentary Student Disability and Term Life Insurance with your AAO membership
According to a Student Loan Survey conducted by the AAO, the average student loan debt between 2008 and 2017 for an orthodontic resident was $418,722—a number that continues to rise. Because of the investment you have made in your education, you need insurance to protect your education, knowledge and loved ones.
While unlikely, if you become disabled or die while in school, your life and your family’s lives would be greatly affected. Could you or your family members pay your bills and students loans?
That’s why Lockton Affinity, with guidance from AAO, created a student insurance package with Group Disability Insurance and Term Life Insurance. Offered to all AAO resident members at no cost, it is one of many ways the AAO is dedicated to its members’ futures.
