What if you became the patient?
You have invested a tremendous amount of time, energy and resources to become a physician and your expertise is second to none. As such, your ability to earn an income is your #1 asset. Disability insurance is the foundation of a sound financial plan. It is the first of the “insurance building blocks” we recommend. Disability insurance replaces your income in the event you suffer an illness and/or injury that prevents you from being able to work.
Since 2003, Integrated Financial Strategies has been a trusted authority for medical students, residents & fellows as they embark on the different stages of their medical careers.

Does RBC’s Medical Student Offer sound like a fit for you?
From my first meeting with Mark at the end of Medical School (2005), I knew he was the consummate professional. And more than 15 years later, he has proven time and again how accurate first impressions can be. Always with patience and grace he has managed my portfolio by finding products tailored to my unique needs. But it was when life threw me a curve ball that he demonstrated how he had my back. For asset management – Mark certainly has all the right personal assets: Flexibility; Knowledge; Integrity and more.
