Transitioning from Residency to Practice - a podcast by Finity Group

Transitioning to Practice

For doctors, one of the most significant life events is transitioning from residency or fellowship into practice. This usually involves a significant pay increase, a job change, possibly a move to a new city, student loan payments increasing, the desire to purchase a house, new car, maybe start a family, among other things. There are many things for physicians to address when it comes to financial planning around this time. If you can set the tone and start your attending career on the right foot, your long-term financial goals will be much more achievable. Today we will discuss setting up a good game plan for your transition to set you up for future financial success.  

Creating a plan can be easy when you start with a goal in mind. Assessing your needs now and in the future will help you know what you need to so in the short term to be able to adequately save for retirement, as well as those other bigger purchases you may want down the road. The key is to take it one step at a time.

Tip of the day: Time and money are limited resources. You have to prioritize your goals – answer the question, “what do I want to accomplish?”
