Resilient VetWellbeing & Financial MentoringStart free. Get to financial clarity in 90 days.
A free live conversation with Mike Sabatino, CFP®, CSLP®, on September 15 — and Instinct scholarships that cover the full 90-day program for members in their first five years.
The scholarships are possible because Instinct funds them — we’re grateful for the support.
Mike Sabatino, CFP®, CSLP®, in a module from the 90-day program
“I had tried to budget multiple times and failed before in my life, never had an emergency fund, and never thought about investing right out of vet school. Three months later, I now have an active budget, have an emergency fund, and am starting to invest.”
Where to start
Four ways in — three of them free.
Start where you are. The webinar and the sample course cost nothing, the scholarships cover the full program, and more cohorts follow later this year.

Apply for a ScholarshipThe 90-day program
What ninety days actually changes.
One hour a week, a plan built around your career, and NYSED CE credit for the work you were going to have to do anyway.
What you’ll leave with
- A student loan repayment strategy matched to your career plans
- A personalized spending plan you’ll actually keep
- An emergency fund sized for your life, not a rule of thumb
- Specific, measurable goals you can start on this week
- An investment strategy that puts your savings to work
What it costs
$795 for NYSVMS members — $100 below the standard rate. The program carries NYSED CE credit, so many members use their existing CE allowance and pay nothing out of pocket. An Instinct scholarship covers the fee in full for members in their first five years.
Who it’s for
NYSVMS members seven years or less out of vet school who complete a no-obligation discovery call with Mike before the cohort opens.
Why it exists
Financial stress is a leading cause of burnout in early-career practice, and anxiety over money shows up in care quality and retention. Removing the distraction early lets new veterinarians put their attention on clinical development instead.
Next cohort
Applications close October 2 and the cohort begins October 5. More cohorts follow later this year, with sponsorships and — we expect — more Instinct scholarships alongside them.
From participants
What ninety days looked like for them.
“Student loans were a major concern for me upon graduating vet school. I knew I wanted to pursue Public Service Loan Forgiveness, but I didn’t know where to start. This program made me confident in managing my finances.”
“It has changed the way I look at money and my savings, and made me hopeful about achieving my financial goals. Every new vet should take this course.”
“I really appreciated that this program was geared towards veterinarians — we have some unique financial considerations to take into account.”
Testimonials are from actual participants, provided voluntarily and without compensation. There are no material conflicts of interest.
Your first step
Start with a free discovery call.
Applications close October 2 and the cohort begins October 5. Mike will walk through your goals, your loans, and whether the program is a fit — including whether an Instinct scholarship can cover it. No obligation either way.
