YPS Adds Videos & Webinars
If you're looking for medical-legal resources, look to these two videos for guidance. Greg L. Henry, MD, FACEP, and Gillian Schmitz, MD, prepare you for a deposition and coach you on thow to avoid the top ten errors physicians make in charting.
If you're looking to get your financial house in order, join Abhi Mehrotra, MD, FACEP, on this webinar that takes a close look at how you can start now to build wealth.
If you’re transitioning from residency to private or academic practice, you have questions. Questions about choosing the right group, how to pay off your medical debt, or how to study for board certification. Once you figure all of that out, you start asking yourself if your professional goals line up with your personal goals.
This section is ideal for emergency physicians in their first 10 years of practice. In it, you’ll learn how to balance your life's goals as your emergency medicine career progresses.
YPS Section members may send an e-mail to all members of this section via the section e-list at youngphy.section@elist.acep.org.
