Too many physicians over the last decade have sought cookie-cutter asset protection plans to give them some "peace of mind" that if they ever endure an outrageous malpractice case, they won't lose everything. While we admire these doctors' commitment to pro-actively managing their risk, we have to remind doctors that all "asset protection plans" are not created equal. In fact, many will not even "work" if they ever are relied on.

American Educational Institute is an ACCME-accredited CME sponsor with a twist. A unique twist actually. Since 1982 AEI has presented important programming at an unparalleled selection of premier Sun and Ski resorts throughout North America, Hawaii, Mexico and the Caribbean.... virtually every week!
Add to these enviable destinations a course that itself, if not unique, is at least unusual. The 2011-12 Medical-Legal Update, is 5-day, 20 hour program applicable to all specialties, focusing primarily (though not exclusively) on non-clinical topics. As you well know, for better or worse today's physician must stay both medically current and abreast of the latest developments in medical malpractice,risk management, practice management and healthcare law. AEI's Medical-Legal Update is designed to help you do exactly that. Indeed the OJM Group is proud to be part of that endeavor as our own David Mandell and Jason O'Dell are members of the course lecture faculty.
Imagine viewing an actual malpractice trial just before hitting Vail's legendary back bowls, and après ski hear experts lay out Healthcare Reform's impact on your practice, or which corporate structure best suits your professional and personal needs. Or consider learning the pros and cons of physician-hospital integration and then hearing about newly approved drugs....all just before teeing off at a world class golf course in Naples or Hilton Head.
There's plenty of steak with all that sizzle. AEI's Category 1 CME program has been validated by no less than your colleagues with over 100,000 registrations and the fact that over 98% of participants surveyed say they would recommend AEI to a fellow practitioner.
For more information or a free course catalog contact AEI by phone at 1-800-354-3507 or visit their website at www.AEIseminars.com. We think you'll find this to be the perfect way to mix business with pleasure.
