The title should really be: “The Biggest Mistake of Your (Attending) Life”, but it didn’t flow as well, so I just cut out the attending part. It ended up sounding click-baitish, but I think that’s ok. What I have to say today will significantly shape your future. So when you read this title, you may have some preconceived notions for what I meant. Perhaps you thought that I was going to say going into medicine […]

So I’ve had a Twitter account for awhile, which was mostly just used to link to my blog articles. I followed some people, mostly other physicians, but overall, I didn’t really use it. To be honest, I never really gave it a chance. It was just another “social media” thing that I used in hopes that people would browse through my profile and find my blog. I didn’t have Twitter on my iPhone and hardly used it […]
Do you even Twitter, Doc?
Guest Post from @DrBloomDO / @docsoftomorrow How to Crush your Rotations Study on your own.

I was curious, so I read it. I’d recommend you guys read it as well. However, the long and short of it is: The “secret” of index funds […]
Could Index Funds Be Bad?
Hey guys, If you’re a 4th year medical student, your ERAS application should be in. After every medical student tried to submit their application minute 1 day 1, ERAS crashed… again… like it does every year. Don’t worry, I’m not judging you guys, I did the same thing back in 2007. Relevant Ok, so now what? You’re a 4th year. Apps are in. You feverishly check your “ERAS” inbox every 10 seconds. Ivory Tower University sent […]
4th Year, ERAS, and the NRMP
Happy Labor Day! No Post Today. I would recommend checking out some other bloggers I read: PhysicianOnFire Future Proof MD Passive Income MD Dr. Wise Money All of us blog on the topic of Physician Finance/Retirement, although I am more of a “variety” (medicine/whatever/finance) blogger. It’s interesting to see how other physicians manage their finances and retirement. Overall, these other bloggers are much more aggressive about putting money away than I am, with plans for earlier […]
