Choosing a Specialty and Finances to Max...

Andrew Tisser DO
About this episode

In this episode, tune in to Andrew as he talks on The Prospective Doctor Podcast by Erkeda DeRouen about the essential questions that need to be asked regarding specialty and finances. Listen as he speaks of the importance of evaluating and aligning to personal values, why doctors should not refrain from money talks, and how students should approach choosing the specialties that will ultimately work for them. For Andrew – everyone – including doctors, needs to be happy at what they're doing. He believes selecting the field appropriate to you and your values and practicing personal finance are two ways to achieve so.

In this episode you will learn:

·       About the Talk2MeDoc Podcast and Talk2MeDoc LLC.

·       On pursuing emergency medicine.

·       We need to talk about money because it is crucial!

·       How not to make terrible mistakes with your money.

·       Three-piece advice to pre-med and med students.

About Erkeda DeRouen, M.D.:

Erkeda DeRouen, M.D. is a double board-certified Family Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine physician. Mentoring is important to her, as I believe that one should always share their gifts to uplift others. Recently, she began to host a pre-med and medical student geared podcast called "The Prospective Doctor" to expand the amount of medical students mentor. 

She also is an energetic public speaker that spreads ideas about the state of healthcare, personal empowerment, and professional growth.
