James M Dahle MD

James M. Dahle, MD is a practicing emergency physician and veteran from Salt Lake City, UT. He developed a passion for personal finance and investing early in his career after being ripped off by a variety of financial professionals. After a lengthy self-education process, he realized nobody was teaching this material to physicians and similar high-income professionals and many of them were making the same mistakes he made. He has been helping them avoid those errors and get their financial lives in order since 2011 when he founded The White Coat Investor website. It rapidly grew into the most widely read, physician-specific website in the world. His first book, The White Coat Investor: A Doctor's Guide to Personal Finance and Investing, has remained an Amazon top-seller since publication in February 2014. His second book, The White Coat Investor's Financial Boot Camp: A 12 Step High-Yield Guide to Bring Your Finances Up to Speed, was released in February 2019. He is convinced that increasing the financial security of doctors enables them to be better partners, parents, and doctors along with reducing burnout, decreasing suicide risk, and improving patient care.
