50 Financial Tips for Physicians Part 1, Cash Flow, Debt, Education, Insurance & Compensation

Welcome to the Doctors Eyes Only podcast, where Vestia CEO Lauren Oschman, CFP®, presents part one of a two-part series titled 50 Financial Tips for Physicians.

This episode shares 25 actionable tips across five core areas of financial planning: cash flow, debt repayment, education savings, risk management, and compensation planning. Each section includes five real-world examples designed to help physicians make informed decisions in alignment with their goals and the financial realities of their profession.

You’ll hear how to align your spending with long-term priorities, evaluate job offers beyond salary alone, build a student loan strategy that fits your career path, and understand the full scope of insurance and liability protections needed at different stages of life. The episode also explores how physicians can benchmark compensation, negotiate contracts, and plan for practice ownership or a future buyout.
