Welcome to the Doctor Money Matters podcast.
I am your host Dr. Tarang Patel, a practicing diagnostic
radiologist in Phoenix, AZ.
I started this podcast as a way to share knowledge about financial
matters as they relate to health care professionals. We spent many
years learning about the science and art of providing patient care
but most of us have relatively little knowledge about reaching
financial well being. I know that I had no formal training in
setting up investment accounts, negotiating contracts, buying
insurance, buying real estate, etc. I just learned by reading and
also by making many mistakes. Health care professionals are trusted
to take put their patients needs first and we in turn assume
everyone in other fields work the same way. Unfortunately this is
not always true.
By talking about these topics, I hope we can reduce the many
financial mistakes that prior generations of doctors have made.
Those physicians were able to overcome these mistakes because of
shorter training periods, less debt, and they were more likely to
be in private practice. Today we no longer have those luxuries and
many of us have significant debt burdens. The good news is that we
also have access to information that the prior generation never
had.
A little background about me. As I said before I am a practicing
radiologist in Phoenix, AZ. I went to undergrad at Indiana U. (Go
Hoosiers), medical school at the Kirksville College of Osteopathic
Medicine (Now AT Still Univ) in Missouri, moved east and did my
radiology residency at New York Hospital-Weill Cornell Medical
Center in Manhattan. I then moved west to serve my Air Force
commitment at Nellis AFB in Las Vegas, NV. I then did a fellowship
in Body/Musculoskeletal Imaging at Mayo Clinic Arizona. Since I
finished training I have been in a hospital employed group for the
last 6 years.
I have always enjoyed learning about finance and have read
(listened to) many of the financial books. I also spent time
reading on the bogleheads.org forum which I found to be a valuable
source of information. Finally I just observed that many of my
colleagues and I had the same questions about relatively basic
financial matters but it was difficult to find clear answers.
