While Jim’s work at The White Coat Investor is geared toward physicians, his advice is not only sound but accessible to all investors and he addresses some issues that we do not, such as student loans, tax strategies, real estate and life insurance. Like us, all the information on his website is free and is intended is to help investors “avoid doing dumb things with our money.”
I recommend you checkout his website for excellent financial education. He also sells classes, although I have never personally attended his classes.
I’ve had the pleasure of being interviewed by Jim and presenting at the White Coat Investor conference. He is author of The White Coat Investor: A Doctor’s Guide to Personal Finance and Investing, written in response to thousands of comments and emails from medical students, residents, practicing physicians, dentists, and other high income professionals he received during more than two years blogging on his website.
James M. Dahle, MD, FACEP, FAAEM is a practicing emergency physician and the founder of The White Coat Investor. After multiple run-ins with unscrupulous financial professionals early in his career, he embarked on his own self-study process to become financially literate. After seeing the benefits of financial literacy in his own life, he was inspired to start The White Coat Investor to assist his colleagues and is dedicated to “helping those who wear the white coat get a ‘fair shake’ on Wall Street.”
At the time, there was nobody providing unbiased financial education to doctors at any point in their training. Now, more than a decade later, financial wellness is widely recognized as a critical life skill for all physicians and similar professionals. Dr. Dahle currently serves as the CEO, a columnist, and the host of the podcast. He is a proud father of 4 children and spends his free time adventuring around the world or hiding in the mountains or desert of his home state of Utah.
