In the medical profession, your ability to care for your patients is closely tied to your health and well-being. If an illness or injury disrupted your ability to work, could you cover your living expenses and additional medical bills? Most young physicians, especially residents, face substantial education loan repayments, monthly rent or mortgage bills, auto expenses, and potentially, the responsibilities of starting or caring for a young family. If you were unable to practice and earn an income, even for a short period of time, these financial demands could quickly deplete your savings and leave you financially vulnerable.

Industry expansion in the 19th century was so swift that the concept and execution of safety regulations couldn’t keep up. The vast number of severe injuries and deaths that resulted led to the development of accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance.

You’ve invested years of rigorous study and tireless dedication to become proficient in your field. With your professional life on an upward trajectory, it’s essential to ensure that you are helping to protect the income you’re working so hard for.

The TMA Member Short Term Disability Insurance plan is an affordable financial tool that residents and young physicians can use to help protect their incomes if a serious illness or injury keeps them from practicing.

Physicians invest years in rigorous education and training, committing themselves to the welfare of their patients. However, amidst their relentless pursuit of healing, one aspect often gets overshadowed: their own well-being. This is where short-term disability insurance emerges as a crucial financial safeguard. By investing in short-term disability insurance, physicians can empower themselves with a safety net that can help provide vital income protection during unexpected health challenges or when planning for the future.

As young physicians embark on their medical careers, it is essential to prioritize their financial well-being and future security. Short term disability insurance is a crucial safety net that can help provide financial support during periods of medical leave when you are unable to earn your regular salary.

We are proud to introduce the TMA Member Short Term Disability Plan, issued by The Prudential Insurance Company of America, as an affordable, guaranteed way for residents and young physicians to access vital income insurance protection.

Spending money to save money may sound counterintuitive, but there are situations where it can be a wise financial decision in the long run. For instance, you likely perform regular maintenance on your vehicle. Oil changes, tire rotations, and other preventive services can help avoid expensive breakdowns. Investing in energy-saving appliances may cost you upfront, but the long-term benefit of lower utility bills is a trade-off many homeowners gladly accept.

The loss of a family member can have both emotional and financial implications. If your family lost you to a sudden tragedy, would they also lose financial stability? Without adequate planning, your surviving family members may face difficulty covering daily expenses, mortgage payments, or education costs.

Term life insurance is a valuable financial tool that can help shield your family from economic distress in the event of your passing. It has many other uses too. For example, life insurance can help you meet other financial needs. Use life insurance to protect those who co-signed your education loans. It can be used as collateral to secure a loan to open a practice. If you’re practicing with partners, it can help protect your business interests. Life insurance can even help defray estate taxes and ensure you leave your family the financial legacy you intend for them.

Protecting the ones you love is instinctive. It is so inherent, planning for potential situations that could harm your family is synonymous with common sense. Keeping a first aid kit in your home or car, having fire drills with your kids, learning CPR – nearly everyone protects their family every day in some way.

Life insurance can help protect all the days your family has ahead of them if you are suddenly unable to.
