Banking for Doctors, by Doctors featuring Dr. Michael Jerkins

In this episode, David is joined by Dr. Michael Jerkins, internist, pediatrician, and co-founder and President of Panacea Financial.

Michael begins with his background – where he grew up and what got him interested in medicine. He explains his decision to postpone medical school for a year and get a master’s degree in Education, and how teaching is still part of his passion and career.

Michael relates how the financial stresses of medical school and starting a family showed him how the traditional banking system fails physicians in training and gave him the idea that eventually became Panacea Financial.

Michael then provides an overview of Panacea Financial: its physician focus, what’s unique about it compared with other banks, its relationship with Primis Bank, and a few statistics to illustrate Panacea’s recent growth. He covers which of their offerings are most popular with physicians and which are growing.

Michael concludes with what he sees as common misconceptions doctors have around banking and debt, and offers his advice to physicians when it comes to tackling financial issues.
