  1. Congratulations on making headway with residents (the fact that you guys even offer a lecture hitting finance topics is a huge plus for them as I never got that during my residency). I am on the pension committee and I petitioned to add index funds to the offerings (gave a powerpoint presentation, etc and in the end they agreed to add those funds to our 401k (all Vanguard). I would actually petition whoever is in charge of your retirement accounts to add index funds as well. It is their fiduciary responsibility to do so and there have been instances where employees have sued because they were forced to invest in high ER funds.
