I am excited to announce that tickets are on sale for the Canadian Physicians’ Financial Wellness Conference. It will be held via Zoom on Nov 2nd, 2024 from 1-4pm EST. There will be a recording for those who cannot make the time slot.
The conference is organized by Dr. Stephanie Zhou (@breakingbaddebt) with students & residents from across Canada. Ben Felix and I will be doing a live episode of The Money Scope Podcast. We’ll answer common and live questions.
The itinerary is shown below and you’ll see it will be awesome! Benjamin Tal will discuss interest rate cuts, federal budget & economic outlook amidst the US/Canada elections, with workshops by Rational Reminder co-host Mark McGrath on financial planning for doctors, Dr. Shirin Dason on parenthood & finances, and lawyer Noa Weingarten on Estate Planning/Wills.
Registration
Registration is via the conference organizer site and their “Buy Tickets” button. Early Bird Registration just opened and runs until October 12th. However, I can tell you that last year it sold out way faster than that. The price is right: $32-180 depending on medical student to staff physician or Non-MDs and early bird status. That is right, non-physicians can also attend.
