Doctors, You Won’t Be As Rich As You Think…

Medical school applicants don’t think enough about money. But, it’s becoming increasingly common for med students to graduate with upwards of $500,000 in debt. Unfortunately, many applicants don’t think about what this means on a practical level and how these immense financial considerations will limit and guide their professional choices.

This podcast is done by doctors, and in it they talk about their lives in medicine and the personal and systemic challenges of the industry from a doctor’s perspective. Today, they talk about debt, doctor salaries, and the ways that states and the federal government are trying to get more people into primary care, which can often pay much less.
