Like law, accounting, and medicine, financial planning is an applied profession. A mastery of “book knowledge” is insufficient preparation for a student entering an applied profession. The traditional model of financial planning education is inefficient in that it leaves students with a long and expensive transition into professional practice. This article proposes a new model that shortens this transition and includes an overview of various teaching techniques designed to integrate the profes- sional world with the financial planning curriculum. Contact information for select educational programs already working to ease the transition is provided for those desiring to model effective teaching techniques.
