Dr. Carolyn McClanahan, M.D., CFP® (Founder of Life Planning Partners, Inc. @Life Planning Partners, Inc.)
Dr. McClanahan began her career as a physician in 1990 after completing her undergraduate degree at Mississippi University for Women and medical school at the University of Mississippi. She completed her residency in Family Medicine at the Medical College of Virginia. After a couple of years in private practice and emergency medicine practice in Richmond, Virginia, she moved to teach at the University of Florida, Jacksonville. She also worked in various emergency departments in the Jacksonville area.
Finding that most financial planners were mainly interested in managing her portfolio and not in providing the advice she needed, she enrolled in the CFP® curriculum at the University of North Florida. Realizing the similarities between medicine and financial planning, and feeling more empowered by being able to help people plan for their future, Dr. McClanahan decided to make a career change into financial planning.
