Personal Financial Management for the Young Surgeon

On September 13, 2021, the Resident and Associate Society of the American College of Surgeons (RAS-ACS) hosted a webinar presented by Mark Aeder, MD, MS, FACS.

The key to having a good perspective of personal fiscal management is to develop a basic knowledge of how to approach your personal financial situation. Having a competency in the basic concepts, knowing what questions to ask, identifying where to obtain impartial advice, and avoiding the missteps and errors that physicians have historically made will start you on the right path to create a good financial plan. This information is best presented by an experienced colleague and not someone trying to sell a product or gain business.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the prioritizations within the management of personal financial health to maximize success
• Tools to achieve financial goals and important protection considerations for early career surgeons
• Key points to selecting your financial advisor and building the other members of the financial team
