Cory Fawcett, MD — Eliminating DebtOur guest is Cory Fawcett, MD, a recently retired surgeon in Oregon who has written books for medical professionals including Eliminating Debt which we talked about on the show. It and his other books are available on Amazon or his own websitedrcorysfawcett.comBy eliminating debt from student loans, mortgages, practice expenses early, Dr Fawcett was able to cut back on the areas of his surgical practice that he did not enjoy. While he thought it would reduce his income, he actually was not impacted that much and found that he enjoyed his practice more. Too many health care professionals get caught up in the doctor lifestyle and find that they have to continue working extremely hard to maintain it. This can contribute to burnout.Get off the debt treadmill as soon as possible.0 min

About Doctor Money Matters
From the publisher's feed
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.
