Physician Residency Transition

The Critical Transition Period
The transition from residency to attending physician is one of the most significant financial shifts you'll experience. Income may triple or quadruple, creating both opportunity and risk of lifestyle inflation. Proper budgeting discipline is essential during this time.
The habits you establish in your first year of practice often determine your long-term trajectory. Prioritize aggressive debt repayment, build your emergency fund, and secure income protection insurance while healthy.
