For Medical Students

Your success as a physician starts today.

This stage in your medical career is all about preparation. Your hard work and studies are the foundation for a fulfilling career in medicine. There are additional steps you should take at this stage to help build a solid foundation for your future. Financial preparedness is the cornerstone for you to build a successful future—both personally and professionally.

Know what financial protection you may have through your school

The Med Plus Advantage (MPA) program provides quality insurance to about 1 in 3 medical students in the U.S, through their medical school.

If your medical school does not participate in the MPA program you may want to ask your Dean or program administrator if they are aware of the features and benefits of the program-disability insurance, life insurance, and accidental death and dismemberment insurance. All tailored for medical students.
