MEDICAL STUDENT FINANCIAL SERVICES
Personal Finance Book Club:
The 2nd Friday of every month!
Beginning in January 2021, join Medical Student Financial Services to discuss some of the most highly-rated and well known personal finance books to date. All books are carefully chosen to ensure they have relevant information to students and/or future physicians.
This book group is part of our Financial Friday Series.
Until further notice, the group meets via Zoom. Post-COVID, you can choose if you would like to attend in person or via Zoom. Book group meets at 12 noon, ET.
We are looking forward to some great discussion! If you have a book suggestion, please let us know.

ACCESSING THE BOOKS AFFORDABLY
- Check your local libraries (Howe UVM, Burlington, and/or your current town) for copies. Ask for not only hard copy, but also if it's available for e-checkout, such as "Libby". Fletcher Free Library in Burlington has eBook access through Hoopla and Overdrive. Or, Green Mountain Library Consortium has e-books.
- Consider splitting the cost with a peer.
- Visit the used book marketplace on Amazon or eBay - allow plenty of time for shipping!
- Check second-hand stores (UVMMC's Replays on Dorset St, local Goodwill Stores or ReSOURCE stores).
- If you buy new, choose paperback on Amazon rather than hard cover. Even better, support local, such as Phoenix Books.
- Consider the audible version if that delivery mode works for you.
- Email Medical Student Financial Services - we may have an extra copy to lend!
