  • Most physicians assume their first contract is a “standard agreement” that everyone signs without question. But as Kyle Claussen, CEO of Resolve, reveals in this episode, there’s no such thing as a truly standard physician contract.

    From compensation structures to non-compete clauses and tail coverage, every detail can significantly impact your financial future and career flexibility. Yet, many doctors accept these contracts at face value, unknowingly leaving money on the table or committing to restrictive terms that could hinder them down the road.

    By the time a physician realizes a contract term is unfair, it’s often too late. That’s why Kyle emphasizes the importance of negotiation—even for new attendings who feel they have little leverage.

    With insights into compensation benchmarks, legal loopholes, and real-life examples of contract pitfalls, this episode equips physicians with the knowledge they need to advocate for themselves. Whether you’re reviewing your first contract or renegotiating your current one, this conversation is a must-listen for any doctor who wants to be treated—and paid—fairly.

  • Lots of physicians wonder: If I can manage my own investments, why pay an advisor? It’s a fair question. If you're comfortable picking index funds and setting up automated contributions, what’s left for an advisor to do?

    This conversation unpacks the real value of financial planning beyond investments. From student loans and tax decisions to asset protection and estate planning, there's much more to consider than just growing a portfolio. Many assume an advisor’s worth is tied to investment management alone, but the real benefits show up in unexpected areas—especially as life and finances become more complex.

    We break down when it makes sense to hire an advisor, how to recognize a good one, and whether paying for professional help actually leads to better financial outcomes. Whether you're just getting started or re-evaluating your financial team, this discussion helps bring clarity to an often misunderstood topic.

  • Managing your own investments can feel empowering—especially when you've done the research and built a solid plan. But when does the complexity of financial planning cross the line from DIY-friendly to requiring professional help?

    That’s exactly what Dr. W is wondering. As a resident who's been diligently managing an all-equity portfolio, he’s now questioning when and if a financial advisor would be worth the cost. What’s the real value of professional advice, and how does it stack up against a well-educated, self-managed approach?

    We unpack the tangible and intangible benefits of working with a financial planner, from tax management and asset allocation to the critical role of behavioral coaching. The answers may surprise even the most financially savvy physicians.

  • What does it take to pave the way for the next generation while navigating the scars of being first? When we sat down with Steve Sample, an emergency medicine physician, we were struck by his mix of gratitude, hard-earned wisdom, and tough decisions.

    From his untraditional path into medicine—starting as a young father with dreams of becoming Garth Brooks—to now supporting his daughter through medical school, Steve offered a candid look at the challenges and triumphs of being a first-generation doctor building generational wealth.

    We explored the financial and emotional realities of supporting a child through one of the most expensive educational journeys out there. Together, we unpacked big questions: How do you balance a child’s dreams against daunting debt? What financial lessons can you pass along while helping them build independence? And how do families create equity among siblings while setting the next generation up for success?

  • As a physician, your income is your most valuable asset—but what happens if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury? Disability insurance is critical to protecting the investment you’ve made in your education and career. It ensures financial stability in the face of unforeseen challenges, whether it’s a car accident or a cancer diagnosis.

    While premiums can be costly, especially during residency, starting with even a small policy is far better than having no coverage at all. In this episode of Physician Cents, Michael Relvas, CFP® joins us to explore the importance of disability insurance.

    He covers key considerations like level versus graded premiums, and why group coverage alone often falls short. Learn how to safeguard your future against the unexpected, because your financial well-being depends on it.

  • Most physicians aren’t planning ahead for their finances during their training and residency—they’re surviving. Many assume that once they’re a full-fledged doctor, any financial issues will be resolved. You may be thinking about marriage, kids, or buying a home.

    So in this episode of Physician Cents, we’ll cover some of the basic things newly minted physicians need to think about with special guest Dr. Kaveh Hoda.

  • We are often asked whether or not physicians should buy or lease a vehicle. While doctors are stereotyped for having expensive and flashy vehicles, we all want to make wise financial decisions when it comes to choosing a vehicle.

    People often spout that leasing a vehicle is just throwing money away. But is it? It can be argued that there is a time and place for leasing a vehicle over buying. We dive into the different nuances of buying vs leasing in this episode of Physician Cents.

  • Most traditional mortgages require at least 5% down on the home. Depending on where you’re located, you may be looking at putting $10,000 down plus the addition of closing costs of 3% of the purchase price. That’s a lot of cash to have on hand, which most physicians don’t have right out of training.

    Enter the physician mortgage. For many physicians, this is the answer they’ve been looking for. But it can also be a trap. In this episode of Physician Cents, we share what a physician mortgage is, why they’re offered, and why you shouldn’t always take advantage of one.

  • The average American spends more time planning a vacation than they do insurance planning. There aren’t a lot of big ticket items that need to be more carefully considered than health insurance.

    And as we’re moving into open enrollment season, there are a few things you’ll want to know when it comes to choosing healthcare coverage for the following year.

    Keep in mind that we will never tell a client what plan to choose. Our goal is to explain the pros and cons to help clients narrow down their options. We’ll cover the details you need to know to make an informed decision in this episode of Physician Cents.

    What else do you need to know before you start moonlighting? We cover three important topics in this episode of Physician Cents.
