Promoting financial literacy in minority first-generation medical students

Making the Rounds

The financial reality of attending medical school can be particularly jarring for students from historically marginalized racial and ethnic groups who represent the first in their family to attend medical school. In this episode, first-generation medical students cover topics around financial literacy, debt management, different types of loans and repayment plans, building generational wealth, types of retirement plans, and more in an effort to financially empower medical students. Guests include: Sanjay Sharma, MD, MS, MBA; Michael Sweeney, MD, MBA, and Kabir Grewal, a medical student at the Florida State University and president of an organization at FSU that that educates med students about financial literacy and health care economics.✶✶✶✶ 📺 Follow the @americanmedicalassociation on YouTube: https://bit.ly/AMA_YouTubeChannel 🎥 Watch #AMAUpdate for the latest in health care news for physicians: https://bit.ly/AMA_Update 📝 Full transcripts of the show are available here: https://bit.ly/AMA_Update_Transcripts 📧 Subscribe to AMA Morning Rounds newsletter, with the news you need every morning delivered to your inbox: https://bit.ly/AMA-MorningRounds 🎧 Listen to our latest podcast episodes now: https://bit.ly/AMA_Podcasts 📲 Download AMA Connect for news, podcasts, video updates and learning in one place: https://apple.co/3URzNES 💬 Connect with the AMA on social media: https://bit.ly/AMA_Social_Media
