Abstract:
The authors provide a brief overview for thoracic surgeons in topics essential to achieving financial well-being as a student, trainee, practicing surgeon, and beyond. While broad in nature, the authors' article is comprehensive, and they cover topics including student loans, asset and wealth management, investment opportunities, financial and estate planning, and insurances. It is hoped that the information provided will allow thoracic surgeons to become more familiar with the financial topics that pertain to thoracic surgeons and provide an introduction to explore financial wellness and literacy more thoroughly.
