What if you became the patient?
You have invested a tremendous amount of time, energy and resources to become a physician and your expertise is second to none. As such, your ability to earn an income is your #1 asset. Disability insurance is the foundation of a sound financial plan. It is the first of the “insurance building blocks” we recommend. Disability insurance replaces your income in the event you suffer an illness and/or injury that prevents you from being able to work.
Since 2003, Integrated Financial Strategies has been a trusted authority for medical students, residents & fellows as they embark on the different stages of their medical careers.
