The CERTIFIED MEDICAL PLANNER™ Mark
The elite CERTIFIED MEDICAL PLANNER™ charter designation program is a one year (four academic quarters) 500 hour integrated, live and asynchronous, online course-of-study offered exclusively by iMBA, Inc.
For the most effective distance education and adult-learning, we use a multi-sensory combination of website content, downloadable .pdf and/or MS-WORD files, templates, MSFT-PPT presentations, and/or other required and optional textbooks, manuals and Journals produced only by iMBA for our financial professionals, consultants and physician colleagues. The Certified Medical Planner™ course may be “crashed” in six months upon special permission from the Academic Dean. Group on-ground education is also available by special request.
Typical CERTIFIED MEDICAL PLANNER™ charter-designation holders are business consultants, accountants, financial planners and financial advisors; attorneys, insurance professionals, investment advisors and wealth managers; physician-executives, nurse-managers, hospital, practice or clinic CXOs; and registered representatives with fiduciary accountability and compliance department approval.
Best of all, we customize the last quarter as you learn and complete each semester with your live online instructor, through a series of secure e-mail transmissions in the privacy of your own home or office, and whenever busy life schedules allow … it is that operationally easy.
Course instructors are typically available for questions, concerns or technical explanations by secure email or private telephonic appointments.
NOTE: Application does not imply acceptance. Applicant selection and ultimate matriculation is a competitive process.

I would be happy to discuss the CMP® program with anyone interested. CMP® is a great program and worth every penny. It is just what I needed to focus my practice on physicians and has given me the confidence to be a better advisor for docs.
I just want to complete the program before you guys realize you are not charging enough! Please have him/her or them, call me.

ABOUT THE CMP™ LOGO
iMBA Inc. first released its Certified Medical Planner™ identification logo in January 2004.
The unique license-plate design was developed in-house, as each blue ribbon floral embraces the CMP trademark, integrating physician focused financial planning concepts with medical practice management principles.
iMBA Inc. was established in 2000 as a consortium of business focused physicians, medical providers, health economists, accountants, financial planning practitioners and practice management educators serving the profession.
Today, the CMP™ logo is federally trade-marked and the Institute of Medical Business Advisors Inc. is the place to go where “learning is A+”

Bernie Madoff and FINRA?
You asked: Wasn’t Bernie Madoff the Vice Chairman of FINRA?
Answer: Yes he was.
Madoff wasn’t merely a name associated with FINRA, in some sense Madoff was FINRA. Madoff (Bernie) joined FINRA’s (then NASD’s) Board in 1994 and was its vice chairman while his Ponzi scheme was under way. Madoff (Peter) also made it to that same office at one point. Madoff (Mark) was on the National Adjudicatory Council, a regulatory body that reviews disciplinary decisions made by FINRA. That was an appointed gig courtesy of then CEO Mary Schapiro, who we all know is now chair of the SEC. Madoff (Shana), a compliance officer of Bernie’s until the firm’s collapse, was a member of a compliance advisory committee of FINRA.

I would run from FINRA if I were you; not a fiduciary among em’. The SEC, too. Stay pure Certified Medical Planners™.

FINANCIAL PLANNING FOR PHYSICIANS BEST TREATED WITH PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE
Protecting their wealth is paramount; acting as their personal CFO will make an advisor invaluable, says New York City based financial planner Nadene Salzman.

But, there is so much more! I guess she never heard of the Certified Medical Planner™ online education and certification program.

Advisors Neglecting Client Health Care Planning, Study Reveals
Financial advisors need to talk to their clients about health care costs during their retirement years or risk losing them to someone who is willing to have the discussion, says Nationwide Financial.
http://www.fa-mag.com/component/content/article/7-news/12895.html?Itemid=171
That’s why the R&D efforts of our governing board of physician-directors, accountants, financial advisors, academics and health economists identified the need for integrated personal financial planning and medical practice management as an effective first step in the survival and wealth building life-cycle for physicians, nurses, healthcare executives, administrators and all medical professionals.
Now – more than ever – desperate doctors of all ages are turning to knowledge able financial advisors and medical management consultants for help. Symbiotically too, generalist advisors are finding that the mutual need for extreme niche synergy is obvious.
But, there was no established curriculum or educational program; no corpus of knowledge or codifying terms-of-art; no academic gravitas or fiduciary accountability; and certainly no identifying professional designation that demonstrated integrated subject matter expertise for the increasingly unique healthcare focused financial advisory niche … Until Now!

Dear Sir or Madam:
I am a Doctor of Chiropractic in California. Recently I have closed my practice for reasons I think you are familiar with (Managed Care).
Now I am looking for another career within medicine that does not involve treating patients. This could be in consulting or management, sales, etc.
I’m seeking some guidance from others who’ve gone down a similar path. And in case you’re wondering, I found your organization through your text Business of Medial Practice, 3rd edition.
Currently, I’m reading up on your Certified Medical Planner™ program. Does your organization offer training in other areas of medicine as well? I have no training or background in finance, therefore am not sure if I would be suitable for a career in medical financial planning.
I would be so appreciative if you could offer any insight on transitioning from practice to other employment areas of medicine, whether that be through the CMP™ program or other unrelated training.
If you’d like to share your insights, please contact me however you wish. In the mean time I will continue to read your wonderful text book.
Yours sincerely,
Paul Picha DC
Is the CFP-BOD, and the CFP® mark, in Jeopardy?
[A VOTING POLL]
The CFP® Board’s strategy of punishing some certificate holders over compensation disclosure issues in what critics charge is an arbitrary manner threatens the future of the CFP® designation, according to one of the early leaders of the board who also chaired its disciplinary commission.
And so, we ask this question.
Is the CFP-BOD, and the CFP® mark, in Jeopardy?

Too Many CFPs?
“Advisors are struggling with a crisis of differentiation,” said Michael Kitces, a certified financial planner and director of research for the Pinnacle Group.
“Everyone is selling themselves as a fee-based certified financial planner offering customization,” he said.
As more and more people earn their certified financial planner certifications and become financial planners, the mere fact that one is a financial advisor is no longer the differentiator that it once was, Kitces explained.
To that point, advisors are increasingly compelled to focus on a niche practice where it’s easier to stand out from the competition and win new clients.

Building A Niche Advisory Business: It Takes 3 Years For People To Know, Like, And Trust
According to Michael Kitces, and others, starting a niche business can be very difficult. It’s hard to be a specialist for a particular type of clientele or need that they face from day 1; it takes time to learn the issues and the pain points, and acquire the knowledge and expertise.
And, even once you have the knowledge and expertise to provide the solutions, there’s still the simple challenge of actually finding clients to whom you can deliver those solutions!
After all, it’s not enough to just know how to solve the problems of your target clientele; ultimately, people do business with people they know, like, and trust… which means even after getting the expertise, you still have to become known, liked, and trusted.
