The Podcast For Doctors (By Doctors)

Dr. Michael Jerkins and Dr. Ned Palmer are practicing physicians and the co-founders of Panacea Financial, a banking platform built specifically for doctors. Their podcast takes that insider knowledge and turns it into biweekly conversations about the realities of being a physician in America. Available in both audio and video, the show features interviews with fellow doctors and industry experts who speak candidly about the profession's highs and lows. The episode topics reflect the broad scope of challenges doctors face. Burnout gets honest treatment here, as do the financial pressures that hit especially hard during residency and early career. Direct primary care models, healthcare policy, medical training culture, and the things nobody warned you about in medical school all get their turn. A recent episode covered the medical maze of physician turnover and workforce trends, which gives you a sense of how current and relevant the discussions stay. Jerkins and Palmer bring an interesting perspective because they operate at the intersection of medicine and financial services. They understand the unique financial timeline of a physician's career, the years of negative net worth during training, the sudden jump in income, and all the decisions that cluster around those transitions. The podcast does not shy away from the ugly parts either. They talk about the systemic issues in healthcare with a frankness that comes from actually living within the system. For doctors who want unfiltered conversations about their profession from people who get it, this show delivers without the corporate polish that makes so many healthcare podcasts feel sanitized.
