Direct Your Money, Don’t Let it Direct You Webinar

 

These webinars will be presented by Zac Schoene, an independent financial advisor.  Zac works to develop and implement custom financial strategies that are always in his clients’ best interests.  He strives to simplify complex financial topics and works to help inform his clients on all aspects of their personal financial lives.  He believes the key to long-term financial success is having a comprehensive financial plan in place to inform and direct all decision making.  This is done so you can direct your money and it doesn’t direct you.

Webinar: Don’t Let Your Money Direct You, Part II

Zac Schoene, Financial Advisor

Part II of the two-part series will focus on the various types of retirement accounts and financial accounts and their purposes and cash flow.  Cash flow?  You are familiar with the terms income statement and balance sheet – but that is just for your business, right?  Not true – Zac will show you why you need to keep a personal income statement and balance sheet and how it will help you achieve your financial goals.

The YPN’s Guide to DOing Med School Podcast

Listen to the first episode of the brand new Young Physicians Network podcast, The YPN’s Guide to DOing Med School, hosted by Hannah Newland, OMS IV and Caleb Liles, OMS III. They discuss study strategies, useful websites/apps, and their experiences adjusting to the pace of medical school. MAOPS is particularly proud to be sharing Student Doctor Newland’s story, as we believe it will help a lot of first years who might be struggling right now or soon after their first exam.

Episode 2 is hosted by Tam Nguyen, OMS-II and includes an interview with Dr. Jared Nichols as well as Student Doctor Ambrose, OMS-II. This episode covers mentorship – where to find a mentor, what to ask, the benefits of this type of support, and what it might look like throughout your career. It’s a realistic and honest discussion about something a lot of students struggle to develop.
