Financial Literacy and Wellbeing among Medical Students, Residents, and Attending Physicians in Lebanon: Results from A Nationwide Multi-Centered Survey

I encourage everyone to improve their financial literacy, including students, residents, and attending physicians. This can be achieved through financial literacy training, advocacy, support groups, and resilience groups within the medical community. Protections should also be put in place for vulnerable populations. It is important to promote diversity, equity, and equality in the medical workforce and to reform the overall system. The current system, not only in Lebanon but also in other countries, is undergoing significant changes in medical education and healthcare. Universal healthcare and education, including medical education, should be a priority. The financial recession of 2007 highlighted the impact on doctors, and efforts such as hazard pay for responders during the COVID-19 pandemic are steps in the right direction. Loan forgiveness for medical students, free housing for residents and students, and financial assistance during times of crisis should also be considered.
