those in cardiovascular training programs within the state. Contact a
Fellow Representative if you would like to get involved with the
Pennsylvania Chapter of the ACC.
How to Get Disability Insurance Without Getting Denied
Join us for an overview of
How an insurance agent did the wrong thing for Dr. Turner, which makes him unable to get disability insurance to this day.
Why disability insurance is the #1 financial task for doctors
How to avoid the common pitfalls and mistakes doctors often make (and that insurance agents won’t tell you about)
The exact process you can utilize to get disability insurance without getting denied
Dr. Jimmy Turner is a practicing academic anesthesiologist at Wake Forest School of Medicine in North Carolina. Jimmy is also the CEO and founder of both The Physician Philosopher and Money Meets Medicine, the author of the best-selling book, The Physician Philosopher’s Guide to Personal Finance, host of the Money Meets Medicine podcast, and a licensed insurance agent. As you’ll see, Jimmy is passionate about protecting doctors from making the same mistakes he did (which he will discuss tonight) and increasing financial literacy among doctors so that they can practice medicine because they want to and not because they have to due to financial constraints.
