Learn from the Experts Protecting Physicians: MSSNY’s Doctors Inc. Series
When it comes to your first contract and malpractice coverage, nothing replaces the guidance of seasoned experts who have defended and advised physicians at the highest levels. MSSNY’s Doctors Inc. webinar series, launching Saturday, September 6, 2025, brings two distinguished voices to New York residents and fellows, leaders who understand the stakes of your transition from training to practice.

Session One: Get Paid What You’re Worth will be led by David N. Vozza, Esq., General Counsel to MSSNY. With decades of experience defending physicians before the Office of Professional Medical Conduct and the Office of Professional Discipline, Vozza has seen firsthand how a poorly negotiated contract can derail a promising career. He will walk you through the clauses, benchmarks, and pitfalls employers hope you miss, and show you how to secure the protections and pay you deserve.

Session Two: Understanding Malpractice—Make Sure Your “Tail” Is Covered will be guided by Lori Hertz, Senior Account Specialist at MLMIC. With over 30 years in physician insurance and marketing strategy, including her leadership at PRI/EmPro, Hertz brings unmatched expertise in how liability policies are structured—and where young physicians are most vulnerable. She will break down the differences between claims-made and occurrence policies, the true cost of tail coverage, and the critical questions you must ask before signing the dotted line.
These aren’t just theoretical lessons. They are insider insights from the professionals who have spent their careers safeguarding physicians in New York. Missing this program could mean stepping into your attending role without the tools to protect your income, mobility, and reputation.
