The White Coat Investor's Guide for Students: How Medical and Dental Students Can Secure Their Financial Future

Students are often forced to make some of the most significant financial choices of their lives without fully understanding the long-term impacts of these decisions.

You did not pursue a career in medicine for the money and may find it alarming that many doctors 10 years ahead of you feel underpaid and stressed about their finances.

In fact, 24% of doctors in their 60’s are not yet millionaires despite decades with a six-figure income. That doesn’t need to be you.

Dr. Jim Dahle, Emergency Physician, best-selling author, and Founder of The White Coat Investor, will help you navigate the major decisions you will face during school and residency training.

This book will teach you how to:

• Understand all of the options for paying for medical or dental school
• Minimize, manage, and pay off your student loan debt 2-5 years after training
• Make an informed specialty decision and ensure you match
• Understand the advantages of traditional and non-traditional students
• Prevent and combat burnout
• Choose whether to rent or buy during residency
• Begin investing so your money can work as hard as you do
• Secure the right insurance to protect yourself and your family
• Achieve the financial success you envisioned when you were accepted to school

You can pay off your debts rapidly after school AND enjoy the financial success of all your hard work and training.

Medical and dental school are filled with enough pressure. Use this guide to remove the financial worries so you can move forward into your career with the confidence you need.

James M. Dahle, MD, FACEP, FAAEM is a practicing emergency physician and the founder of The White Coat Investor, now the most widely read, physician-specific personal finance and investing website in the world. He became interested in personal finance and investing after becoming disillusioned with the way he was treated by several unscrupulous financial professionals and in an effort to help his fellow physicians and other high-income professionals avoid the same errors, started The White Coat Investor website in 2011. 

Dr. Dahle is now a best-selling author of four books and host of two weekly podcasts and an annual CME-eligible Physician Wellness & Financial Literacy Conference.

He is convinced that increasing the financial security of doctors enables them to be better partners, parents, and doctors along with reducing burnout, decreasing suicide risk, and improving patient care. The principles he teaches are neither complicated nor risky, but the process of becoming wealthy as a physician is by no means automatic.
 
Jim Dahle is a proud husband, father of four children and spends his free time adventuring around the world. If you can't find him, he is probably hiding in the mountains or desert of his home state of Utah.
