Welcome to the 9th installment of our monthly podcast dedicated to financial education and wellness, Money Minutes for Doctors. This month we sit down with Ms. Katherine Vessenes, JD, CFP®, RFC, Founder and President of MD Financial Advisors, to talk about an often neglected topic in financial planning, what to do when encountered with the unspeakable reality of a catastrophe. In the past six months alone, communities on the east and west coasts of the United States have absorbed natural disasters that have left cities and towns in shambles. The human toll is staggering and many families are left to start from scratch following devastating circumstances. While catastrophes come in many forms: disability, loss of a loved one, job loss, loss of home, etc…planning for the worst does not have to be as painful as the topic implies.

Welcome to the eighth edition of our monthly financial podcast, Money Minutes for Doctors. This month we take a look at financial trends unique to female physicians. Todays doctors are going to be working harder, logging longer hours, and getting paid less; thus the need to stay engaged with one’s finances, and to work closely with a qualified financial advisor to build financial security. This month Katherine Vessnes uses her expertise in guiding female clients to examine some of the mistakes that female doctors make as well as taking a look at strategies to build a solid all-around financial foundation.
