Your Residency Financial Toolkit - What They didn't Teach in Med School
Michael Brodeur, MD; Christus Spohn
Personal finance can seem daunting. But this is largely due to its being new or unfamiliar. During this session the speaker will provide some basic, no-nonsense principles when it comes to managing your student loans, what is important when it comes to disability and life insurance, the parameters to keep in mind when it comes to buying a home, and what sort of behaviors counts most when it comes to investigating and setting yourself up for the future. A little knowledge can go a long way...

Understanding the Texas Medical Practice Act: Lessons from the Inside
Robert Simonson, DO, FACEP: UT Southwestern
We finished residency, survived Medical Jurisprudence (maybe even FLEX), mailed $500 to the Texas Medical Board, and—just like that—received a wallet-sized medical license. We were invincible.
Then reality set in...a notice from the Texas Medical Board after a case didn’t go as planned. A photo taken with a patient. A CME trip that seemed legitimate—until an airline boarding pass wasn’t enough documentation. Suddenly, the rules mattered.
Drawing on decades of experience as both a voting member of the Texas Medical Board and a current member of the Disciplinary Process Review Committee (DPRC), the speaker will review common pitfalls and “hot-button” issues physicians encounter after licensure—lessons learned since first being licensed in Texas in 1981, when postgraduate training wasn’t even required.
This session is not presented on behalf of the Texas Medical Board or the DPRC. Instead, it offers practical, real-world insights and discussion points related to the Texas Medical Practice Act, aimed at helping physicians recognize risks, avoid missteps, and stay out of trouble.
