Financial Literacy for Doctors is a comprehensive and practical guide tailored specifically to the financial journey of medical professionals. From the first day of medical school to retirement and beyond, this book walks doctors through the financial decisions they'll face at every career stage-with clarity, context, and compassion. Written by Pat Brown, MBA, a former athlete turned financial advisor who has worked with high-income professionals for over two decades, this book doesn't just throw out generic investment advice. Instead, it speaks directly to the doctor experience: student loans that rival mortgages, delayed income from years of training, high tax burdens, and the pressure to make up for lost time financially. Organized into five clear parts, the book begins with the White Coat Years, covering the realities of medical school, residency, and fellowship. It then transitions into Entering the Field, where readers learn how to navigate first attending jobs, contracts, and debt payoff. In The Doctor Life, readers explore how to protect and grow wealth through smart investing, insurance, and understanding financial pitfalls. Mid-Career & Leadership focuses on advanced strategies-practice ownership, estate planning, working with financial professionals, and passing down wealth.

Finally, The Transition Years helps doctors plan for retirement, manage burnout, and design a fulfilling, financially sound life after medicine. Each chapter offers actionable insights, case studies, and rules of thumb relevant to physicians' unique income trajectories and lifestyle demands. Topics range from managing student loan forgiveness and disability insurance to understanding sophisticated investments, vetting professional advice, and avoiding schemes that target doctors. Whether you're still in training, launching your career, or approaching retirement, Financial Literacy for Doctors empowers you to make confident, informed financial decisions. With this book as your guide, you can stop feeling behind and start building a legacy-with purpose, peace of mind, and the wealth you've worked so hard to earn.
