Speaker:
Joshua Jimenez, MD
Dr. Joshua Jimenez is an Internal Medicine physician who developed a special interest in finances and budgeting when he was in medical school. In dealing with particular challenges faced by almost all new physicians in the form of student loans and resident salaries, he strove to ingrain habits that would lead to early financial independence, and he is always excited to share what he has learned.  

Ever worried about a colleague and wondered how to help? Learn strategies to recognize warning signs and take proactive steps to ensure those in need receive the help they deserve.

The newly released Medscape Physicians and Suicide Report 2025: "A Lot More Still Needs to Be Done" underscores the urgency for collective action to prevent the tragedy of physician suicide.

Led by Dr. Michael F. Myers, a NYC psychiatrist specializing in physician health, the session begins with a 4-minute viewing of “Make the Difference: Preventing Medical Trainee Suicide”— a valuable resource for all physicians, regardless of career stage. Interactive Zoom breakout discussions will explore real-world scenarios, followed by a collaborative session to develop practical, life-saving solutions.
