20/20 Money Episode 32 – Planning Your Career After Graduation w/ the co-Founders of NewGradOptometry.com
June 24, 2019
Hello, and welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today’s show are Drs. Matt Geller and Antonio Chirumbulo. Matt & Antonio were guests on our 3rd episode and are the co-founders of the popular website www.newgradoptometry.com, a website dedicated to providing relevant and timely information for…you guessed it…new OD grads.
It’s the beginning of June, and what that means for new optometry grads is that it typically gives new grads a bit of some downtime while they wait for their license from the state board before they start into their first job as a licensed optometrist. Matt and Antonio join me again for another conversation and this time we dive into some of the top planning ideas (both financial and career) new grads should be considering around this time of year.
We start out talking about the importance of vision planning and taking some time for yourself to truly try and outline what it is that you want your life to look like at this early stage of your career. Matt talks about addressing three important buckets in your life—the health, wealth, and happiness buckets—while Antonio spends some time talking about the tactical considerations, such as getting your NPI number, getting credentialed with insurance companies, and other ideas.

Our conversation wraps up with some scenarios where young ODs have made mistakes early on in their careers and some possible situations to be aware of and how to also think about conflict and disagreements in your work environment, complete with something they call the “morning test” to use as a quick and easy litmus test for your own personal career satisfaction.
