Abstract

One issue that every new physician must contend with is the subject of malpractice insurance. Medical malpractice insurance is one of the largest expenses a young physician will face as he/she launches their career. This subject is often shrouded in mystery and can be very time-consuming especially if it is the first time you are confronted with this expensive decision.

We believe that young physicians who take the time to understand and buy malpractice insurance will not only save money but also ensure that they will receive the right type and amount of coverage. This chapter will discuss the concept of malpractice insurance and what every young doctor needs to know about this issue.
