Congress about to figure out ways for college football programs, coaches, and players to make more money while at the same time cutting payment to doctors.

Smart financial moves doctors make:
• Getting advice early - not after major mistakes
• Automating saving + investing
• Spending intentionally
• Buying insurance before they need it
• Saying no to common “doctor” FOMO

Current surgeon compensation models typically do not account for increasing student debt levels that continue to escalate.
Drs. Angela Sickels and @JBartRose highlight their research conducted at @uabmedicine that was published in @acsJACS. brnw.ch/21wRION
I thought they went for the debt.
#1 reason for MD shortage is Med schools admitting students who aren’t going to practice. Only 60% of med students today plan on practicing clinical medicine. Med Schools need to focus on admitting students who want take care of patients, not just get their MD.
Show us your data

Evaluating physician comp in light of average national income is harmful.
Their skill development, time in school, time in training, liability assumed, and ethical and moral obligation to their patients is all super high.
Income SHOULD follow to substantial heights.
Has the @AmerMedicalAssn or @AmCollSurgeons made any statement on Biden’s plan to stop reporting medical debt to creditors?
What do you think @AmCollSurgeons
President @JoeBiden and I are making it so that medical debt can no longer be included in your credit score.
Would you let a patient play football 4 weeks after a liver laceration?

Remember this when they try to blame doctors for high health care costs
Electronic medical payments were supposed to save doctors billions and benefit patients.
Instead, payment processors convinced a federal agency that they were allowed to charge fees to doctors and pocket the profits. propublica.org/article/the-h…

No one says a damn thing about how much CEOs, lawyers, or accountants make annually.
It’s celebrated.
But for some reason doctors are scapegoated and gaslighted to believe we don’t deserve it after years of sacrifice that doesn’t end after training.
Remember this when insurers blame doctors again for increased health care costs.
Did Blue Cross write this article for you?
