If you've heard about nonclinical physician roles in the life insurance industry, was your first thought "I don't want to sell insurance"? This is one of the many misconceptions about the field that today's returning guest, Dr. Megan Leivant, an internal medicine physician who transitioned to a role in life insurance medicine, is here to discuss. Dr. Leivant will also catch us up on her career path since her last appearance, review opportunities for physicians in the life insurance industry, share how to get started, and more!
