Why was a comprehensive financial benefits program for the Harold Amos Medical Faculty Development Program (AMFDP) initiated?
This initiative is largely due to the vision and efforts of Dr. James R. Gavin III, AMFDP Director Emeritus and National Advisory Committee member. As Dr. Gavin states:
“For many years, our training and enrichment programs focused almost exclusively on professional or career success. We emphasized choosing the best opportunities, achieving strong records, securing grants and publications, and excelling in patient care and teaching. While crucial, we overlooked vital aspects of ‘life success,’ neglecting wealth generation and preservation and strategies for intergenerational wealth transfer. This was true in my case, lacking any legacy of estate strategy or inheritance. As a ‘late starter’ in the financial world, I learned from those with substantial wealth the significant differences explaining the wealth gap between whites and communities of color. A key difference is strong financial literacy: understanding estate strategies, savings and retirement programs, tax minimization, comprehensive insurance, trusts for estate protection and wealth generation, and leveraging advantages.”
