This is NOT board review material! Do NOT watch this if you are studying. This is bonus material for residents, fellows and junior staff who wish to avoid making some of the mistakes I made with money as a young doc. This is FREE advice, and perhaps it is worth what you pay for it. I am NOT a financial planner, advisor, CFA, CPA, etc. I am only a guy who is trying to give back to the community and help others, so take this advice with a degree of skepticism.

I am a board certified anesthesiologist and a board certified echocardiographer. I completed an anesthesiology residency at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), a cardiothoracic anesthesiology fellowship at Wake Forest and a pediatric cardiac fellowship at Children's Hospital Boston.
I have performed adult and pediatric cardiothoracic anesthesiology at 6 major medical centers. I have worked in a variety of cardiac operating rooms including several major academic centers, a veteran's administration hospital, a private practice hospital, and a major academic pediatric cardiac center.
I have won the teacher of the year award 4 times at 3 different academic medical centers.
I have written a few echocardiographic publications including a board review book (Conquer the PTE), which is no longer in print. I have lectured at many local and national meetings (Society of Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology, Harvard Review Course) and I have helped many private practice physicians, residents and fellows pass the PTEeXAM and the oral anesthesia boards. I have also lectured at private practice hospitals and I founded a "TEE lecture series" at the University of Alabama, and Wake Forest University. I was also an American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA) oral board examiner (not currently an oral board examiner).
