Home Improvement — If you’ve been reading my blog, you’ll note a lot of things that come up over and over. This includes being behind on retirement and needing to catch up, as its a common theme throughout the Finance Fridays section of my site. The major problem is finding the best way to maximize the money you save toward retirement to “catch up”. Well, the cornerstone is still 401k/403b and 457 (if available). However, now I’m going to […]

Hi guys, it’s Medicine Mondays again and I’m going to be Talking to Med Student Me. Basically, a lot of this web site is me reflecting back on medical school and residency. However, I wanted to take this time to reflect on some choices I made as a medical student/resident that I thought were good and would repeat, and others which I would change.
