Pearson Rabbits is my own personal disability insurance broker and soon to be my life insurance

through attendinghood. That is one major

reason why you would want to pursue disability insurance as a resident. The second major reason

is that disaster can unfortunately strike at any time to anyone. Nobody expects to become disabled

as a young resident, but it happens, and disability insurance

will help protect that financial investment that you have made into your education.

Don't wait until it's too late.

members today. Don't forget to mention EM clerkship if you do, and now back to the episode.
