Dr. Mason speaks with us regarding her career as an Emergency Medicine physician and renown educator. She shares how she got her start with podcasting and what inspired her to educate the masses.

Dr. Selbst offers tips that he has learned along the way and words of wisdom regarding medical-legal issues. A topic which he has significant experience speaking and writing about.

Dr. Boutis spoke with us in depth about how she found her unique path to a combined pediatric emergency medicine training with a focus on adolescent trauma as well as the immeasurable benefit of having an engaged mentor.

In this episode, Dr. Mattu delivers thoughtful commentary on-- you guessed it-- emergent EKG findings, but also offers us a unique tour though his career path. He gives us feedback on how he developed his career path, tips on navigating academic medicine and how to fit in teaching during hectic ED shifts.

In this episode of the Brown EM Podcast we hear how Dr. Chung rose to become one of the most prominent names in physician wellness. She addresses the issues of physician burnout, physician suicide and discusses some current initiatives designed to foster a supportive culture and maintain resiliency. Find out what Dr. Chung views as some of medicine’s biggest hurdles and hear her advice for tackling them throughout your career.

Dr. Levitan talks about the development of his career, offers his advice for learners, and shares his top airway stories. In Part Two (at the 27:00 min mark) he goes on to discuss his airway device development, including the now famous Airway Cam.

How can you plan for your child’s educational future? Listen to this month’s Money Minutes to hear about the nuances of the 529 plan.

It is a fear that all physicians have at one time or another…how do I protect myself in the event of litigation?

This month we talk with Ms. Katherine Vessenes, JD, CFP®, RFC, Founder and President of MD Financial Advisors, about the roller coaster that was the world of finance in 2018 and where the market appears to be headed in the coming months.

In this episode we jump back into the subject of employment contracts with part two of one of the most important topics for a physician coming out of residency.

Negotiating your first employment contract can be one of the most intimidating pre-employment activities prior to donning the white coat. Having an understanding of your employer’s expectations and what is contained within the four corners of the paper on which you sign will go a long way to relieving the uncertainty and concerns related to a document which will play a primary role in your financial life. Listen here for Part 1 of our contracts discussion.

This month we talk about an often neglected topic in financial planning, what to do when encountered with the unspeakable reality of a catastrophe.

This month we take a look at financial trends unique to female physicians. Today’s doctors are going to be working harder, logging longer hours, and getting paid less; thus the need to stay engaged with one’s finances, and to work closely with a qualified financial adviser to build financial security.

In this installment of our monthly podcast we take a deep dive into the basics of the Roth IRA. This product is slightly different than the 401k and adds another important investment strategy for retirement savings.

In this edition we discuss the IRA. Chances are you have heard of the "individual retirement account", but what does it really mean and how does it affect your retirement strategy?

In this, our 5th episode, we take a glimpse at the topic of the side gig for those in the medical community. We have heard a lot about the "gig economy" in recent years. From Uber to Airbnb, side opportunities are defining ways to enhance one's income potential. It is no different for those of us in medicine and creative possibilities abound.

In this fourth episode, we take a detailed look at the advantages of the Roth 401K. The Roth is an often mentioned financial product but the understanding of its pearls goes a lot deeper than just the name...it is more than just a retirement account!

In this, our third episode, we discuss the opportunities for physicians to build wealth outside of the traditional W2. Our focus this month looks at the tax benefits of having 'physician partners', S corps, C corps, LLCs that are taxed as C corps, and those opportunities that involve 1099 Income.

This month's discussion delves into the myriad changes brought on by new tax code. Will it be tax armageddon or tax heaven for those of us in medicine? Money Minutes focuses on the unique challenges facing physicians and the topic of financial well-being; as well as providing guidance in formulating strategies for a lifetime of security.
