Personal Finance

Description 

New-in-practice pathologists encounter a new set of financial challenges while transitioning to their first full-fledged attending position. Often, newly minted attendings are trying to pay-off old debts while looking forward to retirement accounts, buying their first home, and going on overdue trips with neglected loved ones. These often-postponed life goals are paired with a bevy of new professional responsibilities…It’s a juggling act. This roundtable seeks to identify these early financial hurdles, provide a basic mantra for prioritizing goals, and present tools for managing them.
