Your Financial Path as a Physician in Training

During training, making any progress toward your financial future can feel like a real challenge—and the truth is, it is a challenge. Your income is limited, your time is even more obligated, and setting either aside can feel impossible. But making the most of the limited resources you have and being intentional about your path forward can make a huge difference in setting a solid foundation. Even if you don’t feel like you’re making major strides, the intention and preparation will put you in a great position to transition smoothly to attending life and hit the ground running.

Prioritizing Your Finances During Training

Residency and fellowship come with intense time commitments and financial challenges. With limited income and a high student loan burden, making financial progress can feel daunting. Long hours and unpredictable schedules often leave little room for planning, and it can be difficult to know where to start. On top of that, there’s the challenge of balancing your current lifestyle with long-term financial goals. Finding the right mix of enjoying life now while also setting a solid foundation for your future.

Even with these challenges, small, intentional financial decisions can have a lasting impact. If you have the capacity to save or pay down debt, deciding where to start and what to prioritize can make a big difference. Whether it’s building an emergency fund, contributing to retirement accounts, or tackling student loans, understanding your options can help you make the most of your limited resources.
