Course and Program Textbooks
Managed care, private and government-led initiatives to control health care costs have decreased physician compensation although still prodigious income earners. And so, they must now carefully plan their practices and seek financial security in a manner that is markedly different from other professionals.
To do so, physicians and their advisors must be well informed about the growing range of financial planning and medical management options to choose the course that balances risk, cost, time horizon, outcome and their own personal economic style. These innovative textbooks confront the reality that personal financial planning and medical practice management for doctors and other medical professionals is decidedly more complex than it is in other professions.
For the Certified Medial Planner™ program, they are divided into
core, dictionary and
institutional textbook products. Regardless, they are all produced in-house and should be in the library every financial planer, accountant, attorney, banker, management consultant or insurance agent that purports to advise medical professionals. Books may be purchased from your vendor of choice, or directly from us, while supplies last. All are proprietary and have been produced by iMBA Inc for this course.
Three Required Core Textbooks:
1. Financial Planning for Physicians and Advisors describes a personal financial planning program to help doctors avoid the perils of harsh economic sacrifice. It outlines how to select a knowledgeable financial advisor and develop a comprehensive personal financial plan, and includes important sections on: insurance, asset diversification, wealth management and modern portfolio construction, income tax and retirement planning, and practice succession and estate planning. When fully implemented with a professional’s assistance, this book will help Certified Medical Planners™ develop an effective long-term financial and medical managerial plan for their physician clients in a consultative manner.

Insurance and Risk Management for Physicians and Advisors is a primer for those of all levels and interests yielding important personal and professional advice. It provides more than a fundamental understanding of the current healthcare environment and is equally important to the established physician executive, as it is for the resident doctor or advisor, looking for a reference on topics like capitation, malpractice insurance alternatives, risk theory or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), EMTALA, FERPA, SARBOX and the PA, among many others new laws, rules and regulations.
"After reading this book, physician executives will be in a better position to address insurance, risk management, and financial decisions for themselves, their families, their practices or the organizations they lead."
David C. Stockwell, MD
American College of Physician Executives
