In this episode, plastic surgeon Dr. Richard Bartlett joins David to discuss his career, academic and private practice, financial decisions and more.

Richard begins with his background—where he grew up, what got him interested in medicine and surgery in particularand his lack of interest in finances as he went through medical and surgical training.  

Richard explains the process for choosing his first job, including the benefit of learning to “balance the books” even in an academic setting.

He and David then cover his 15 years as an academic surgeon, what he learned financially in creating a plastics foundation from scratch, as well as his decision to create a private practice and the value of “being a good citizen” in making that transition easier.

Richard then spends a few minutes relating the types of financial advice he gives to fellows at Harvard and the advice he would give to all doctors.
