Doctors, I'm sure you've looked at your employment contract and were probably taken aback with all the legal jargon. There are so many pages of information which can be so hard to understand. I find a lot of doctors, particularly young doctors, are exhausted and so burnt out that the first contract that comes their way, they just want to sign and be done with the pain.
The last few years before you hang up your stethoscope can be critical to a doctor's successful retirement. In this episode of More Money Minutes for Doctors, Katherine Vessenes, CEO and founder of MD Financial Advisors, covers the five things every doctor should do before handing in their resignation.
Through the years, Katherine has seen certain mistakes repeated among physicians and dentists. To better understand and then correct these mistakes, Katherine joins Dr. Kristy McAteer, from Brown University, to discuss the biggest blunders she sees, and how to take actionable steps to correct them.
Contracts can be confusing with their legal jargon and dozens of pages. Often, our doctors know what to expect for income but are not so sure about how other benefits compare and which benefits they really need. One of the many services we provide our clients is a financial review of prospective employment contracts.
Today’s podcast is all about financial plans. As you well know, every doctor needs a plan when going into surgery. Well, doctors need a plan when meeting with their advisor as well. We will cover what should be included in a financial plan and what you need to know when you sit down with an advisor.
Here at MD Financial, we think that a better educated client is a BETTER CLIENT. Our goal in “More Money Minutes for Doctors” is to teach you many of the stumbling blocks that doctors have encountered during their journey. This will help save you from unnecessary stress and heartache, and provide you with a more stable financial future. In today’s episode, Katherine Vessenes, JD, CFP®, CEO and Founder of MD Financial Advisors discusses the top problems she has seen through the years.
