If you missed part one of this series where Katherine discussed base pay, bonuses, restrictions, arbitration, and general tips, you can listen or read more about it here. Today we’ll cover common benefits in doctor contracts and what can be negotiated.
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.
Today Katherine Vessenes is joined by Ben Kirchner as they financial planning FOMO.
You may have heard the buzz surrounding developments with SECURE Act 2.0. Today, we're diving into the new IRS rules that would allow rolling over 529 plans into a Roth IRA. Let’s unravel this news and determine if it's a viable option for you.
Two items we talk about in every first meeting we have with doctors are: retirement, and financial independence. It’s common knowledge in the financial world that doctors already start at a disadvantage for retirement. By the time doctors are attending and able to start saving significant amounts toward retirement, other professionals have had a decade of retirement savings under their belt.
Today’s topic is something you’ve likely heard about in the news quite a bit: inflation. Inflation occurs when the prices of goods and services increase steadily over time. This results in consumers buying fewer of these goods and services with every dollar they have saved. Can we predict it? How do we prepare for it? How can we rest at night with so little control over it?
Graduation is just around the corner for many residents and fellows. Over the many years we’ve been helping doctors, we have identified 7 key points they should consider when transitioning to an attending position. These crucial points will protect their financial goals now and in the future. Today we will discuss these steps, and why they are so important.
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.
