Physicians & residents
Financial planning for physicians has its own arc: training-era debt and income asymmetry, PSLF and refinancing decisions, disability and malpractice coverage, contract review, practice-ownership economics, and late-career catchup on retirement savings after a long training runway. Advisors with depth here work with resident, fellow, attending, and practice-owning clients on a regular cadence.
