    <itunes:new-feed-url>https://feeds.transistor.fm/medicine-dollars-decisions</itunes:new-feed-url>
    <description>Medicine, Dollars &amp; Decisions is a podcast about the life and business of medicine.
Clinicians receive little education on physician compensation, RVUs, contracts, leadership, investing, and the financial decisions that shape their careers.
Hosted by Dr Bruno Casanova, a gynecologic surgeon and Department Chair at one of New York City's largest multi-specialty physician groups, each episode explores the life and business of medicine in clear, practical language.
Whether you're a medical student, resident, fellow, physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, or healthcare leader, you'll gain the knowledge needed to make smarter career and financial decisions.
Because medicine is more than clinical practice. It's also the decisions you make outside the exam room.
Life and Business in Medicine.
New episodes every week.
