A Burnout Reduction and Wellness Strategy: Personal Financial Health for the Medical Trainee and Early Career Radiation Oncologist
2019, Practical Radiation OncologyCitation Excerpt :Despite this, financial literacy is poor among physicians, and financial education is largely absent from medical education.17 Again, ROs are no different in this regard, with 33% of RO residents carrying >$200,000 of educational debt (12% of residents report >$300,000)8,18 and 75% reporting being unprepared to handle future financial decisions.19 To fill this gap and in the context of the multifactorial burnout crisis, we review the basic tenets of personal financial health for ROs in the early stages of their career (Table 1) and introduce the concept of financial independence (FI), all with the goal of promoting strong financial stewardship as a wellness strategy.
