Changing Outcomes: A Financial Recovery Strategy for Peak-Career Physicians

Blessed with more dollars in liquid assets than most Americans ever accumulate in net worth, it is easy for a physician to feel financially bulletproof. And yet, physicians are more likely than other professionals to under-accumulate for retirement. This book outlines strategies that peak-career physicians can use to reinvigorate their financial lives. 

Your goal should be practical and personal--improve your financial position, for the rest of your life, starting right now.
