January Resident Business Course Examines Contracts

Resident Business Course 2010-2011

The 2010-2011 Business Course for Residents series will continue Thursday, February 17, from noon to 1 p.m. in Wood Auditorium. Cheryl Baxter with Vista Radiology will present on the physician compensation model. On March 24, Heath Hildreth with The Hildreth Agency will speak on disability and life insurance.

At the November 2010 meeting, Laura Lyons and Chad Schollaert from The Trust Company presented, "A Roadmap for Financial Success (And How to Avoid Pitfalls)." The presentation focused on significant financial decisions medical professionals are immediately faced with after residency, including purchasing a home, retiring student loan debt, taking on new debt and planning for retirement. At the January 2011 meeting, Jennifer Pearson-Taylor with London and Amburn, P.C. led a discussion on contracts. An archive of series presentations is available on The Pulse.
