About Dr. Cory Fawcett
Dr. Fawcett is a man on a mission; to teach doctors how they can live healthy, happy, and debt-free lives–to regain control of their practice, their time, and their finances. He is making an effort to improve the lives of his colleagues. Burnout, suicide, debt, and bankruptcy are increasing among physicians, dentists, optometrists, chiropractors, pharmacists, nurse practitioners and others in the healthcare industry, and he focuses on halting the progression of these unnecessary outcomes.
All his books have become Amazon best-sellers and won several awards including “non-fiction book of the year.” His first book, The Doctors Guide to Starting Your Practice Right, is all about this mission. Helping doctors find their dream job and get off on the right foot. His mission continues with the release of his second book, The Doctors Guide to Eliminating Debt. There is no need to carry life long debt and this book will help you stop managing your debt and start eliminating it. The Doctors Guide to Smart Career Alternatives and Retirement, is for the doctor who wants to make a major change in the way they practice. He covers cutting back to part-time, changing scope, moving to a nonclinical career as well as retirement. If you are wanting a change, don’t make a move before you read this book. The Doctors Guide to Real Estate Investing for Busy Professionals is all about the journey he took as a real estate investor. As a full time general surgeon, Dr. Fawcett was able to manage 64 rental units on less than 15 hours a month. If you want to get into real estate investing but don’t want it to suck up all your time, this is the book for you.

Dr. Fawcett’s passion for teaching personal finance spans his entire career. Through one-on-one counseling, as a Crown Financial Ministries small group discussion leader, and as a keynote speaker, he has been improving people’s financial and professional lives for years. As an instructor for medical students and residents, he has found they have a hunger and need for financial wisdom and direction, as they transform into practicing physicians.
With his financial interest and background knowledge, he has served on several boards and financial committees throughout the years. He has been involved as owner, founder, or partner in more than two dozen business and real estate ventures.
The lack of surgeons in rural areas and his desire to work less led him to the decision to retire from his twenty-year private practice, in a town with ten general surgeons, and assist in underserved areas. In February 2014 he began a three year period of working part-time in rural Oregon towns with only one or two surgeons. With just one surgeon in town, the call burden of 24/7 availability is unsustainable. Dr. Fawcett provided them with a needed break from their pager, helping to keep rural surgeons healthy. In February of 2017, he stopped practicing clinical medicine and now spends his time helping doctors with their personal finance.
Dr. Fawcett is an award winning author, speaker, entrepreneur, personal coach, and repurposed general surgeon. He completed his bachelor’s degree in biology at Stanford University, his doctor of medicine at Oregon Health Sciences University and his general surgery residency at Kern Medical Center. After completing his training, he returned to southern Oregon to practice for twenty years in a single specialty, private practice group in Grants Pass. Since 1988 he has shared his home with his lovely bride Carolyn. They have two boys: Brian, who graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in economics, and Keith, who graduated from Full Sail University with a degree in mobile development.
