Top 10 financial mistakes made by mid-career physicians

Author: Vu Kiet Tran November 5, 2023 Duration: 1:10:22
Physicians and almost all providers in healthcare have very poor financial literacy. It is very common for us to make financial mistakes. The sad news is that most of us are not even aware of them. As we progress in our career, we hope that we finally "arrived". We might have done so professionally in medicine. However, have we "arrived" financially?   I am also letting the audience know of our inaugural Code Green Conference on Feb 2nd, 2024 at the Novotel Hotel in North York. It is an all-day jam full of financial knowledge. Save the Date! More details to come soon. If you don't come for the knowledge, at least come for the Wine&Cheese!   As usual, if you have any comments or feedback, please email me at hmfhd2020@gmail.com
