Because medical training is lacking in financial education, new pathologists are often at a loss when diagnosing their financial health. But the burden of student debt, modest resident salaries, and the societal pressures of ‘‘physician wealth’’ can lead to financial despair, depression, and burnout during training, writes Dr. Anne Mills in an editorial recently published on the Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine website.
