The Physician’s Guide To Finance provides practical advice from surviving medical school’s financial minefield to the opportunities and pitfalls of a real paycheck. This is far more than a cursory overview. There is something for almost everyone to learn - don’t miss the opportunity.”
James Geyer, MD founder of Smart Business Great MedicineWhat a great resource! I wish I had this book 20 or even 30 years ago. I have learned a lot via experiences…some good and some bad. If I had read this book when I was a medical student or resident I think I could have avoided most of the bad experiences! A must read and resource for medical students and residents and a good source of information for many fully trained doctors as well.
