The Medical Student/Resident Example
Finds out where they are placed for their residency
Starts looking for places to live
We team up together and talk about their goals:
Strategy for paying off student loans and which option is best for them
Creating a budget
Going over their residency's benefits -health insurance, disability, 401(k)/403(b), etc.
Discuss goals for investing and insurance
Disability Insurance- which company, which contract, which definition and policy options best fit my occupation, will I be able to add more coverage later, am I eligible for any discounts?
Investing- will my residency match any of my contributions to a 401(k)/403(b), should I do a Roth IRA, what should I invest in?
Life Insurance- do I need life insurance yet?
Set up a timeline for when we will implement your plans
Follow up as soon as you get adjusted to your new location/routine
We maintain ongoing communication and make adjustments to plans as you proceed through residency, fellowship, and then becoming a full-fledged physician
We ramp up your investments and insurance plans with your much bigger income that you've been working towards through 10+ years of undergrad, medical school, and residency/fellowships
