Financial Planning: From Investment to Retirement (2024)
Many radiologists are unable to translate their high income into a high net worth. This is due to high student debt, poor financial literacy and lifestyle creep. High debt drives choices in career path for trainees and practicing radiologists and contributes to physician burnout and mental health issues. Despite the importance of personal financial health, education on finances is absent from most radiology training programs. Some highly successful and intelligent radiologists who contribute enormously to research, radiology education, and clinical care have not spent the necessary time learning about finances and preparing for retirement. This course will feature lectures on more advanced financial literacy topics. The expected outcome of the session will be that attendees will learn about some financial literacy topics and then will be inspired to learn even more and improve their personal financial health.

Mentorship, Sponsorship and Coaching: Not Just for Early Career (2023)
The percentage of women and URiM faculty in radiology has remained stagnant despite an increase in medical school matriculants who have been traditionally underrepresented. There is a distinct need to increase the number of women and URiM entering radiology and to assure that they receive appropriate mentorship, sponsorship, and coaching to succeed and to be promoted to higher ranks. This session will focus on the mid-career leaky pipeline that occurs for women and URiM and will provide potential solutions. The perspective of invisible minorities including LGBTQ faculty will be provided and how we can also provide support. Because institutions can be quite different, understanding the local culture is key to successfully implementing strategies to help with fixing the leaky pipeline.
