Nov.2/19 - MD Financial Managment Presents...

MDFM / OAGS Inaugual Resident Breakfast Symposium:
"Planning Your Career as a General Surgeon - What No One Seems to Tell You about Finances and Starting a Practice"
Our first resident symposium had a great turnout of over 20 attendees on a Sunday morning consisting of new general surgeons, fellows and residents soon entering practice plus our panelists. Many stayed to ask more questions and we received a lot of positive feedback. We'd like to thank MD Financial Management for supporting us in this endeavour as well as future symposia, webinars and research grants in the coming years. Thanks to all who attended.

  • Mediator and OAGS Resident Rep Dr. Fahima Dossa, UofT
  • Elizabeth Karlinsky, CIM, MDFM Early Career Specialist
  • Karin Colbert, MDFM Sr. Financial Consultant, Early Career
  • Dr. Tim Jackson, Toronto, UofT
  • Dr. Kevin Lefebvre, Stratford, WesternU
