Doctors know how to keep people healthy. But what about themselves?
- 37% of male doctors and 28.6% of female doctors are overweight.
- 7-8% don’t exercise at all.
- 88% of trainees and 48% of attending physicians say work and family keep them from exercising.
The problem? It’s not a lack of care. It’s a lack of time and training.
Medical schools focus on treating patients, not teaching doctors how to stay healthy. But when a physician’s health fails, so does their career.
What Happens When a Doctor Can’t Work?
Imagine this:
- You lose mobility in your hands. Surgery? Over.
- Chronic pain takes over. Standing for long shifts? Impossible.
- Your eyesight starts to fade. Reading charts? Not happening.
1 in 5 physicians who experience a disability is out of work for a year or more
Physician Health and Disability Insurance Is the Safety Net
Your health affects your income. If you can’t work, how will you support yourself and your family?
That’s where physician health and disability insurance comes in.
It provides:
- Income protection if you become disabled.
- Specialty-specific coverage (you can still work in medicine, just not your field).
- Security where workers’ comp and Social Security fail.
Without it, you risk everything.
