Services
The American Academy of Insurance Medicine (AAIM) is among the oldest medical specialty organizations in the United States. Our physician members typically serve as medical directors to insurance companies. Members may serve these companies as advisors for underwriting and consultants for claims and disability management.
Physicians (MD, DO) practicing Insurance Medicine work within the fields of life, health, disability and long term care insurance. Medical Directors analyze medical records of applicants to determine insurance risk and to evaluate life and disability claims. Insurance Medicine also provides opportunities for doctors to take on administrative roles, perform analytical research, and provide training for non-physician underwriters.
Do you enjoy medicine and wish you had time to learn more about interesting cases? Would you like to have more time to discuss cases with other physicians? Are you analytical yet approachable? Do you enjoy solving problems and teaching others with varying backgrounds? Do you like to learn? Would you like to have evenings, weekends and holidays free to spend with your family?
The purpose of this organization is to advance the science and practice of Insurance Medicine. This year's theme is one of fellowship and resilience. In order to stay connected as individual AAIM members and remain successful as a larger organization, we strive to remain actively involved and committed to our purpose as a leader in education for the insurance industry.
If you are an AAIM member and are interested in contributing to the Association, please contact the AAIM Secretariat with your name, contact information and interests. We will gladly forward your name to the appropriate person. AAIM appreciates those who donate their time, and always welcomes members interested in serving on a committee.
