We recently found this HCPlive.com article by Ed Rabinowitz entitled “Internist Switches Gears to Practice Financial Planning,” whcih features the decision of Joel Greenwald, MD, to change careers and begin a nonclinical career.
Here is an excerpt from the article: ‘When Joel Greenwald, MD, counsels physicians on how to manage their money, they listen. But not just because he’s a successful financial planner who works exclusively with dentists and physicians. It’s because he truly has been there, done that. Greenwald, a physician turned certified financial planner, walked away from an 11-year medical career in internal medicine at age 40. And having practiced for more than a decade in the Twin Cities region of Minnesota, he was known in the community and known by his colleagues. “I have a great deal of insight into their lives, what they’re experiencing and what their goals are,” Greenwald says. “They don’t have to spend a lot of time explaining to me who there are and what they do.” But that doesn’t mean the transition to financial planning was an easy one.’
