The Responsible Resident
The Responsible Resident Podcast is a short-form educational series designed for medical students, residents, and fellows who want clarity around financial decisions during training, without pressure, sales, or noise.
Hosted by Amber Stitt, co-owner of MD Disability Quotes and a 15-year specialist in physician income protection, this podcast focuses on what truly matters during medical training: timing, underwriting, and protecting future earning power.
Most residents believe financial decisions can simply be handled later. What this series explains, calmly and clearly, is that some decisions are influenced by health history and timing. Flexibility exists during training, but it does not last forever.
You don’t need to take action immediately. The goal is competence first, so when decisions matter, you’re prepared.
If you’re in training and want to understand your options before they narrow, this podcast is for you.
