About The Author

Dr. Jim Dahle

James M. Dahle, MD, FACEP, FAAEM is a practicing emergency physician and the founder of The White Coat Investor, now the most widely read, physician-specific personal finance and investing website in the world. He became interested in personal finance and investing after becoming disillusioned with the way he was treated by several unscrupulous financial professionals and in an effort to help his fellow physicians and other high-income professionals avoid the same errors, started The White Coat Investor website in 2011.

Dr. Dahle is now a best-selling author of four books and host of two weekly podcasts and an annual CME-eligible Physician Wellness & Financial Literacy Conference. He is convinced that increasing the financial security of doctors enables them to be better partners, parents, and doctors along with reducing burnout, decreasing suicide risk, and improving patient care. The principles he teaches are neither complicated nor risky, but the process of becoming wealthy as a physician is by no means automatic.
