Recognizing Excellence in Financial Education
Doctors across the nation are not only healing bodies but also nurturing financial health by educating their peers about money management. The White Coat Investor Financial Educator of the Year Award celebrates these unsung heroes, with this year’s top honor—and a $1,000 prize—awarded to a distinguished educator in the medical community.
Celebrating Six Years of Financial Mentorship
The award, now in its sixth year, has a simple rule: one can be nominated annually, but only win once. It’s reserved for practicing doctors who aren’t financial advisors or profit-seeking financial bloggers. The aim is to acknowledge those who offer formal and informal financial guidance, create educational content, and advocate for financial literacy among high-income professionals.
Encouraging Women Educators in Finance
A notable observation this year was the underrepresentation of women among the nominees, which sparked a call to action for increased female participation in financial education within the medical field. With only a fraction of nominees being women, there’s an open invitation for more female doctors to step forward and share their knowledge.
A Salute to All Nominees
Each nominee deserves recognition for their efforts to instill financial wisdom in the medical community. From personal anecdotes about frugal living to comprehensive workshops and online resources, these educators have made significant contributions to their colleagues’ and trainees’ financial well-being.
Spotlight on Nominees’ Contributions
Stories of nominees’ impact range from doctors teaching financial wellness alongside clinical education, to those who have taken a stand against materialism in favor of financial security. They have been praised for their dedication to mentorship, both in one-on-one settings and through larger-scale educational initiatives.
Dr. Kent Bradley: A Beacon of Generosity and Knowledge

Colleagues have highlighted his generosity and comprehensive approach to teaching, which includes everything from insurance to contract negotiation.
