IMG Masterclass

Everyone has a dream of their ideal retirement and money management. And to realize those dreams you need a solid plan with a firm foundation. For that reason, We must develop a financial strategy for our future.

As we make it into the US, I highly recommend advice from a reliable trustworthy financial professional that has integrity and wisdom, to see a complete, 360-degree view of your financial picture, including how your retirement assets are integrated and work with one another.

By implementing strategies to protect and grow your money:

• Distribution planning form lifetime income
• Passing on more wealth to your heirs
• Optimizing your wealth for tax-efficiency
• Downside protection from the next market bubble.

You can enjoy your future by mapping out your finances now, especially if there’s still time to grow your wealth. The longer you invest, the more time your money has to grow, yet the more it is also exposed to market volatility.

That is why diversifying your retirement assets among a variety of vehicles- both through insurance products and investments depending on what is appropriate for your situation-may help you meet your retirement income goals throughout your lifespan.

Today our guest is Chris Drew, founder and President of Drew Capital Group is a Florida native, born in Fort Myers. Shortly after moving to Tampa in the spring of 2004, Christopher became highly knowledgeable in the health and life insurance arena and later went on to obtain his Series 65 license to become a registered investment advisor representative (IAR).

He evolved his focus to incorporate a comprehensive, client-focused approach to financial planning. Such discipline ensures that recommended programs encompass each client’s financial goals, time frames, and risk tolerance.

With a client-focused, comprehensive plan in place and reviewed regularly, Christopher and his team strive each day, working one-on-one with his clients, to help them pursue their personal financial objectives.

He comes on this episode to shed light on the ever-changing financial landscape by elaborating on ways to protect assets and maximize returns on their investments where principal protection is the main objective, ensuring financial confidence throughout retirement.

Medical Malpractice Insurance & Litigious America!

Medical malpractice insurance is a specialized type of professional liability insurance covering physician liability arising from disputed services that result in a patient's injury or death. Medical liability insurance is required by almost all states and most medical systems as a requirement to practice.

Malpractice insurance is generally available through traditional insurance carriers or from a medical risk retention group, a mutual organization of medical professionals organized to provide liability insurance (sometimes sponsored by state medical societies).

Additionally, some large medical systems may be "self-insured;" instead of purchasing commercial insurance, a medical liability trust fund created, used to pay for the defense of malpractice claims and any resulting judgments against their physicians. Although it is possible for smaller medical groups and practices to self-insure, there are significant legal and business obstacles that make this a difficult option for most.

Individual and group malpractice coverage plans are available for those in independent or small practices. Medical liability coverage is offered for employed physicians as part of a group plan purchased by the employing hospital or health system.

The optimal type and amount of insurance you need to meet your state's malpractice insurance minimum requirements and for adequate personal and practice asset protection may vary significantly based on your circumstances. Therefore, it is essential to confer with a professional medical insurance consultant or institutional risk manager to determine the appropriate type and amount of coverage for your particular practice situation.

It is essential to understand the two basic types of malpractice insurance: "claims-made" and "occurrence." A claims-made policy will only provide coverage if the policy is in effect both when the incident took place and when a lawsuit is filed. As can be seen, this requires that coverage must extend for a significant period of time to provide adequate protection since a considerable amount of time may elapse between when an incident may have occurred and when a claim is made. Because of this, some claims-made policies are written to provide a period of coverage referred to as a "tail" that extends coverage for a set amount of time (such as five years) after a policy end.

If not offered as part of the original policy, tail coverage may also be purchased; the cost of tail insurance is typically a one-time assessment that can be as much as 1.5 to 2 times a typical annual malpractice insurance premium.

Tail coverage, however, is critical in situations where you have been covered with a claims-made policy but are changing insurance carriers, moving to a new position, or are retiring, ensuring continued malpractice coverage during these transition times for incidents that may have occurred in past years.

The costs of tail coverage may be covered by your previous practice to ensure adequate protection of their group assets or by your new practice either as a benefit or an inducement to join the group. Tail coverage may be an appropriate item of negotiation with a prospective new employer.

Occurrence policies differ from claims-made insurance. They cover any claim for an event during the period of coverage, even if the claim itself is filed after the policy lapses. In general, this type of policy does not require tail coverage, although this type of insurance is usually significantly more expensive and less frequently offered by employers.

It is also essential to understand the finer details of your medical malpractice coverage.

Policies typically cover a range of expenses associated with defending and settling malpractice suits, including

• attorney fees,
• court costs,
• arbitration and settlement costs,
• medical damages, and
• punitive and compensatory damages.

Medical malpractice usually does not cover liability that arises from criminal acts or sexual misconduct. It is critical to know what your insurance policy would specifically cover and what it does not ensure you are adequately protected. It is also essential to see the amount of coverage for each occurrence and all claims that may be made against you.

Although some states require minimum amounts of coverage for both the amount per each claim and the total of all of the claims that may be made, it is important to discuss the potential need for additional coverage above these minimums with a professional malpractice insurance consultant or institutional risk manager to ensure that your assets are protected.

If you are entering private practice, remember that in addition to medical liability claims, medical practices also face potential claims associated with other medically-associated risks such as cyber liability and regulatory requirements such as compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Some medical malpractice policies may cover these types of exposures; if not, separate policies to protect against these risks are generally available.

Medical Negligence Falls into Three Broad Categories of Error:

• Failure to Diagnose.

This form of malpractice occurs when a doctor fails to diagnose an existing medical condition or diagnoses a medical condition that the patient does not have.

• Negligent Treatment.

In these kinds of cases, the doctor rendered negligent treatment to the patient. In other words, the doctor made a mistake that a reasonably competent doctor would not have made. Proving that medical malpractice occurred in an emergency room is more complicated. For those cases, the injured patient must prove that emergency room personnel were not merely careless but that they were "willful and wanton" in their disregard of the patient's medical needs.

• Failure to Warn.

The last category of medical malpractice is the failure to warn the patient of known risks. Most treatment courses — whether it is surgery, administering drugs, or some other treatment — carry risks. If a doctor fails to obtain the patient's consent to a course of treatment after warning the patient of known risks, then the doctor has committed malpractice if that known risk occurs.

Some cases will have provable negligence from multiple categories. For instance, if a doctor failed to warn about the possibility of prescription drug addiction and subsequently "over-prescribe" a patient, the physician has acted negligently AND failed to warn the patient of potential risks.

According to a 2013 study published in the BMJ Open medical journal, "failure to diagnose" was the largest source of malpractice claims, accounting for 26 to 63 percent of all malpractice claims brought against primary care physicians. Researchers found that the most common patient outcome from "failure to diagnose" errors was death, which occurred 15 to 48 percent of outcomes recorded in malpractice claims.

I hope this helps to understand, creates curiosity, and motivates you to learn and adapt better to this complicated topic and what it entails and how we can all be prepared and ready from day number one to mitigate the exposure and risk of liability carried by our medical proceedings while practicing medicine in the USA.

Episode 53

Are you getting residency Interviews? 

A matching process update:

Dr. Ferney Paez-Olmos.

His experience with the 2020 Interviewing Cycle during the COVID-19 Pandemic!

The interviewing season for 2020 is open, and some of you have successfully obtained one or more interviews. Congratulations! – So now it is the time to shine and succeed during the virtual encounter with the Residency Program Directors, Attendings, Chief Resident, and program's staff.

Dr. Ferney Paez-Olmos returned to update us on his process. They gave us dozens of great tips of advice along with some "Insider's information" on the type of questions and interactions that he had to deal with during his preliminary interactions.

In summary,

• It took him about two full weeks to start receiving the first email notifications on invitations
• He updated his computer, microphone, internet connection, and lighting to maximize the quality of the virtual interactions
• He has continued to practice his English and interviewing skills and made very clear that the only way to deal with the nervousness around it is to be prepared and rehearse over and over, to excel when it is "time to shine."
• An interview session could last from a few hours to a whole day, and there might be more than one person meeting you or a panel of them!
• Be ready, have plenty of questions available about the program, and do not hesitate to appropriately answer when asked "Tells us about yourself," which seems to be the most prevalent and common question out there
• Be knowledgeable about the program and the background of the attendings you will be meeting – Get to know their Bio!
• Portray confidence and do not forget about your professional appearance
• Turn on the cell phone/email / ERAS notifications to be ready to answer and reply rather immediately when an interview slot is offered and available. Many places are offering the spots on a "First Come, First serve basis."
• 8-10 interviews will give you an 80-90% chance to match into the specialty of your choice.
• Do not lose hope and never give up. The rumor in social media is that, on average, IMGs during this year's season is not getting that many interviews during the initial offerings, but that does not mean it won't happen later on during the cycle in 2020 and or even in early 2021 – before the interviewing season closes. So do not quit or give yourself false-negative expectations!

Ferney also had a great VIP coaching affordable experience with Dr. Varun Agrawal.

I Promised you to leave his link here with you! – and Thanks For Listening…

How to Build Credit & What's a Credit Score - Tips for Immigrants!

Experiential Podcast Series - Part 4

When immigrating to the USA, most of the time, as you surf the Financial and Economic market, you will come across the term "Credit Score" and what is your "Credit Worthiness." And as you become familiar with it, here are some tips of advice and understanding what it means.

A credit score is just a three-digit number, but it can have a significant impact on your financial life. Your credit scores (most people have more than one) can affect your ability to qualify for a loan or get a credit card by giving potential lenders a sense of how likely you will repay your debts. Understanding credit score ranges can help you assess whether your credit may need some work. And knowing the factors that affect your credit scores can help you identify how to improve them over time.

Credit scores are calculated using the information in your credit reports. Each of the three main consumer credit bureaus — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion — produce a credit report with input from lenders, credit card issuers, and other financial institutions.

Your credit reports include information about your credit history and activity. The credit bureaus rely on credit scoring models such as VantageScore and FICO to translate all this information into a number.

While each credit scoring model uses a unique formula, the models generally account for similar credit information. Your scores are based on factors such as your history of paying bills, the amount of available credit you're using, and the types of debt you have (we'll cover these factors in detail later).

Federal law prohibits credit scores from factoring in personal information like your race, gender, religion, marital status, or national origin. That being said, it's not necessarily true that the American financial system is unbiased — or that credit lending and credit scoring systems don't consider factors affected by bias.

So, what's a good credit score? Though it varies across credit scoring models, a score of 670 or higher is generally considered good. For FICO, a good score ranges from 670 to 739. VantageScore deems a score of 661 to 780 to be good.

A credit score that falls in the good to the excellent range can be a game-changer. While financial institutions look at various factors when considering a loan or credit application, higher credit scores generally correlate with a higher likelihood of getting approved.

A good credit score can also unlock the door to lower interest rates and more competitive terms. And if you have excellent credit scores, you have an even better chance of being offered the best rates and terms available.

On the other hand, if you have low or bad credit scores, you may be able to get approved by some lenders, but your rates will likely be much higher than if you had good credit. You may also be required to make a down payment on a loan or get a cosigner.

Credit scores depend on these factors:

1. Payment history

For both the FICO and VantageScore 3.0 scoring models, a history of on-time payments is the most influential factor in determining your credit scores. Your payment history helps a lender or creditor assess how likely you are to pay back a loan.

1. Credit usage or utilization

Your credit utilization is calculated by dividing your total credit card balances by your entire credit card limits. A higher credit utilization rate can signal to a lender that you have too much debt and may not be able to pay back your new loan or credit card balance.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau recommends keeping your credit utilization ratio below 30%. This may not always be possible based on your overall credit profile and your short-term goals, but it's a good benchmark to keep in mind.

1. Length of credit history

More extended credit history can increase your credit scores by showing that you have more experience using credit. Your record includes the length of time your credit accounts have been open and when they were last used. If you can, avoid closing older accounts, which can shorten your credit history.

1. Credit mix and types

A healthy mix of accounts, including revolving lines of credit (like credit cards) and installment loans (such as car loans, student loans, personal loans, and mortgages), can help build your scores. Lenders want to see that you're able to handle and pay back different types of credit.

1. Recent credit inquiries

When you apply for credit or a loan, the financial institution will conduct a hard inquiry on your credit that shows up on your credit reports. Credit scoring models consider these recent hard inquiries when calculating your scores. Opening multiple new accounts within a short period could suggest to a lender that you're struggling financially.

In summary, No one credit score holds more weight than the others. Different lenders use different credit scores. Regardless of the score used, making on-time payments, limiting new credit applications, maintaining a mix of credit cards and loans, and minimizing debt can help keep your credit in good shape.

I hope this helps to clarify some doubts,

Best,

Alonso Osorio, M.D.

Episode #51: Experiential Podcast Series – Part 3

 

"Credentialing / CME / Initial Certifications & Ongoing Education / Re-certification for Physicians in the USA – an overview of what is to come for IMGs." 

The path has just begun, and you are on the way to a lifelong medical practice in the USA. And residency training/fellowship is just the beginning!

Thus far, you have composed, designed, and allocated a large amount of time and effort to create an initial profile for yourself, including Resume/CV, Personal Statements, Medical School Transcripts, Diploma and Certificates translation, Document verifications, etc.

The list goes on forever!

And here it comes,

It is not only of utmost importance. It's crucial that you devise a filing method and tabulating your files, licenses, immigration/VISA documents, Social Security, Credit card information, etc. In a paper file, and an electronic backup method, cloud-based, retrievable 24/7 from anywhere.

Why is it so important? Because over the next 20-30 years of your professional medical career, you will have to support your credentials with past and most up to date documents necessary for certification, licensing, and hospital credentialing wherever you go.

You will be requested to provide a history of documents that could go back 10-15 years ago in history. Having them ready and easily accessible at the palm of your hands will be an immense invaluable tool when needing to provide those within a timed frame for recertification and verification of professional credentials.

Remember to maintain and keep a "CLEAN" personal and professional profile. Whatever you do outside the hospital/practice environment could have immense repercussions (positive and negative) in your professional career! (i.e., Marital problems, like domestic violence, child neglect, and abuse, failure to pay alimony or child support, Drug/Alcohol abuse and misuse or dependence, traffic violations, crimes, misdemeanors, speeding tickets, DUIs, legal battles, etc.)

You must be honest and truthful in your professional documentation attestations. Complete and stay up to date on your CME and State/National compliance professional requirements. Keep up with your board certification and professional educational lifelong development and learning. At the same time, you stay away from "shady" business moves that could get you in jail and or your license revoked.

You will be held to a higher standard and regulated more than any other profession!

We are incredibly regulated, and our credentials are verified and peer-reviewed over the years, multiple times. Maintain a high degree of professionalism and be a leader and an example to your community.

Enjoy the episode because we will discuss the nuances on this, but many other topics of importance regarding the complex process of life-long education and credentialing across the U.S. healthcare system.

EPISODE # 50:

Experiential Podcast Series - Part 2:

"An Overview of the U.S. Healthcare Team Members"

As you get ready to land the residency position of your choice and get situated to start your training every year's July 1st in the USA, you must be prepared to face a whole new environment of team players surrounding you!.

It will be crucial to understand who will be part of your team members and how they relate to each other and yourself. From day number one, you will be exposed to new interactions and relationships and create a liaison with each of the healthcare team players, so your training goes smoothly, at least from the human connection point of view.

You will find a silent hierarchy and a quiet "chain of command" that it is not so apparent from the moment you step into the hospital. In America, the complex healthcare systems have tiny parts that interact with each other like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle to make the machinery churn towards a unique goal, providing excellent healthcare with great patient outcomes.

The episode contains a detailed explanation for most of the job descriptions of people working along your side and how they relate to each other and yourself during your residency, fellowship, and eventually your professional life as a practicing attending physician in the U.S.

It will be 45 minutes of goodness and advice that you won't find anywhere else. Real-life in the hospital is much different than you expect, and it's up to each one of you to build great relationships along this training path, which will allow you to succeed with ease!

Thanks for listening,

Alonso Osorio, M.D. FACEP, FAAEM, FAAFP.

"Life in the USA / Part one of IMG Experiential Series"

 

We dedicate this podcast to the nuances of what it is like to live in America! – My example is just one of many, but the experiential series is here to uncover the “Bumps that you will find on this Road” as a physician immigrant into the US.

After 21 years in the USA, I can speak by personal experience that it has been an ever-evolving process of immersing in a new culture and adapting to a contemporary society that carries an entirely different modus operandi.

From the professional etiquette and dress code, the financial aspect of saving and putting money away for a 401k, a child college fund. Essential items like disability, malpractice, life insurance, and even what is like to deal with obtaining credit, and many other situations you will confront as you learn your new way of life in a different country.

We will be touching on simple but at the same time complex issues, like purchasing a house, leasing an apartment, buying a car, and even dealing with the fact that we have left our extended family behind and moved into a new neighborhood, city, state, and country.

My advice from day number one is to create files and folders, along with a computer cloud back up record of every essential document generated under your name and your family members (if any) during the immigration process.

As an example, I will refer to files from INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service), IRS (Internal Revenue Service), to include ID cards, Drivers License, Social Security documents for you and family, passports, VISAs, State Medical Licenses, DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration), Opiate Dispensing permits, ACLS / BLS / PALS, Diplomas, and also, essential, all CME (Continuous Medical Education) credits in one place.

As complex as it sounds, having excellent organizational skills will help you very much along the way and will save you time and money when receiving inquiries to retrieve a copy of these files.

Welcome to the Journey, and I wish you the best of luck obtaining many residency interview spots during the 2020-2021 cycle of the ERAS match process.

I hope you enjoy it,

Alonso Osorio, M.D. FACEP, FAAEM, FAAFP.

Episode # 48: Why Is Trump trying to tinker with the Physician J-1 Visa Immigration Program for GME? With Greg Siskind, J.D.

Our guest today is Mr. Greg Siskind, J.D. His previous episode was super popular among our listeners and has reached over 500 downloads and explained how the Physician immigration process works currently for FMGs.

He returns to the show to clarify the current state of affairs with proposed immigration modifications that could have direct implications on how physicians in the USA on a J-1 Visa will have to proceed in the future if these changes take place.

Mr. Siskind is one of the Founding Partners at Siskind Susser, PC. With his 30+ years of experience in immigration law, he was invited to comment on the most recent publication at the ECFMG website regarding the potential implications of a new law that could change the future for FMGs immigrating to the USA on a J1 visa immigration status. 

Siskind Susser PC is one of the leading immigration law firms in North America. Their attorneys have experience handling all aspects of American immigration and nationality law. At Siskind Susser, they are committed to providing quality and efficient service to all their clients.

Mr. Siskind and his law firm can be reached at:

[email protected]

Here are the SUMMARY POINTS that we clarify in our discussion:

• The U.S. health care system is facing an unprecedented strain on resources in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to a growing physician shortage that predates the pandemic.
• For decades, J-1 physicians have played an essential role in ensuring quality and accessible health care in the United States.
• J-1 physicians who train in the United States are highly qualified and carefully monitored by ECFMG|FAIMER, the sole visa sponsor for these physicians for nearly 50 years.
• Our nation's success in battling the pandemic depends on the continued contributions of J-1 physicians to U.S. health care.
• That means for us, FMGs to eliminate "duration of status" as an authorized period of stay for certain nonimmigrant visas (F, I, and J). This rule change will have an immediate and devastating impact on U.S. health care during one of the most severe pandemics in our nation's history.
• This proposed rule change enters a public comment period, September 25, 2020-October 26, 2020.
• All stakeholders have the opportunity to submit feedback before ICE makes a final decision on the proposed Rule.
• Training programs last from one to seven years, depending on the medical specialty or subspecialty.
• The current duration of status provision allows J-1 physicians to extend their authorized stay in the United States for subsequent years of training to renew their visa sponsorship annually with ECFMG|FAIMER. This rigorous review process confirms their continuing eligibility.
• The proposed rule change would replace "duration of status" with a specific end date and the additional requirement to apply through the U.S. government each year to extend this end date.
• The current published processing time for such an extension application ranges from five to 19 months.
• With most residency/fellowship contracts issued only three to five months in advance of the July 1 start of each new academic year, the proposed change would create an impossible timeline, and do so on a recurring, annual basis.
• Consequently, thousands of J-1 physicians would be unable to continue in their training programs on July 1 each year.
• This document has a comment period that ends in 25 days (10/26/2020)

Proposed Rule by the Homeland Security Department on 09/25/2020

The Federal Register bulletin published:

 

"Establishing a Fixed Period of Admission and an Extension of Stay Procedure for Nonimmigrant Academic Students, Exchange Visitors, and Representatives of Foreign Information Media"

SUMMARY:

In the fiscal year 2018, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS or the Department) admitted over 2 million foreign nationals into the United States in the F academic student, J exchange visitor, and I representatives of foreign information media nonimmigrant categories.

This is a testament to the United States' exceptional educational institutions, cutting-edge technology, and environment that promotes the exchange of ideas, research, and mutual enrichment.

Currently, aliens in the F, J, and I categories are admitted into the United States for the period that they are complying with the terms and conditions of their nonimmigrant category ("duration of status"), rather than admission for a fixed period. This duration of status framework generally lacks predetermined points in time for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) immigration officers to directly evaluate whether F, J, and I nonimmigrants are maintaining their status and poses a challenge to the Department's ability to monitor and oversee these categories of nonimmigrants effectively.

Specifically, because nonimmigrants admitted in the F, J, and I classifications generally do not currently begin to accrue unlawful presence until the day after there is a formal finding of a status violation by USCIS or an immigration judge, they are often can avoid accrual of unlawful presence for purposes of statutory inadmissibility grounds of unlawful presence, in part, because they do not file applications or petitions, such as an extension of stay, that would result in a formal finding.

The Department accordingly is concerned about the integrity of the programs and the potential for increased risk to national security. To address these issues, DHS proposes to amend its regulations by changing the admission period of F, J, and I aliens from the duration of status to admission for a fixed time.

Admitting individuals in the F, J, and I categories for a fixed time will require all F, J, and I nonimmigrants who wish to remain in the United States beyond their specifically authorized admission period to apply for an extension of stay directly with USCIS or to depart the country and apply for admission with CBP at a port of entry (POE).

This change would provide the Department with additional protections and mechanisms to exercise the oversight necessary to vigorously enforce our nation's immigration laws, protect the integrity of these nonimmigrant programs, and promptly detect national security concerns.

In summary, be proactive, comment, and congregate about the issues affecting the FMGs deeply. I hope this message clears the air and calms the fears that were motivated by the most recent post on the ECFMG website!

All of you can read the Rule and make click the green button to make a comment. You can read other people's comments as well.

Doctor en USA with Christian Feria, M.D.

Christian Feria, M.D. is a Colombian physician, from Cali, with intensive care experience, who immigrated to the US several years ago with the goal to become a physician in the USA. After passing his USMLE steps, he developed a method, that is very successful in achieving high USMLE scores.    Doctor en USA is the first and only study method that has considered Spanish speaking medical students and physicians who would like to become a Doctor in the USA. They focused on USMLE Step 1 & Step 2 CK preparation.  His method that considers Neurolinguistics has been proven by satisfied and successful customers and graduates of his training.   Dr. Feria rapidly realized and discovered during his personal process of taking the USMLE Step 1 and doing self-assessments a better way to learn, study, and obtain high USMLE scores. If it worked for him, it can work for you. And during this episode, he goes into the details and the regimental process followed in his academy and study groups. 

As of now, the method is targeted towards Spanish speaking aspiring students and doctors, but his method is looking to expand and consider other languages as well.    If applied properly, I think that his briefly described study techniques, could apply to many of you considering to "ace" the USMLE scores in the pursue of ECFMG certification.    He can be reached at:    Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/doctorenusa/   Join his Facebook Group / Únete al grupo DOCTOR EN USA STEP 1 course:   https://www.facebook.com/groups/193971231914242/?ref=share   Step2CK course on Telegram: https://t.me/doctorenUSA   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUzZKXzi52xZjHjafwd1Ffg   Via Whats up +1 (915) 202 2180   and Twitter:    https://twitter.com/doctorenusa/status/1306688220063830016?s=21&fbclid=IwAR2210IxqIxH6THS1_ZCakr_fzs_vqgoLzTRMB8MEd3CmujU6X4OUFA5rHg   I hope you enjoy and if found of use, follow him and leave feedback.
