Virginia Credit Union, Member One Partner with State Trade Group to Sponsor Financial Education and Counseling for Medical Professionals Beginning Their Careers

Virginia Credit Union and its Member One division are sponsoring a series of webinars and workshops across Virginia that will provide financial education and free financial counseling to support medical students and doctors starting their careers.

“No matter where we are on our financial journeys, one thing is true: We would all benefit from the knowledge and skills necessary to make informed financial decisions, because we’ll all face challenges,” said VACU’s Cherry Dale, Senior Vice President of Financial Education. “For many medical students and new doctors, the cost of medical school and the often substantial debt that follows are only part of the equation. There are numerous other financial hurdles, including the expense of training, limited earning potential early in their careers, and difficulty saving for retirement due to debt burdens. Through our sponsorship of the Medical Society of Virginia’s Thrive program, we’ll help provide future and current medical professionals with the education they’ll need to meet their financial challenges head-on.”

The Medical Society of Virginia’s (MSV) Thrive program offers five on-site, in-person workshops and five webinars, each designed to help medical students and professionals better navigate their financial futures.
