Medical Residents

Zavitz Insurance has a long history of attending to the insurance needs of medical residents.  Having begun with the students and residents at the University of Western Ontario, we have since expanded our base to cover most of Canada.  Our advisors are well versed in the needs of medical residents from the time they graduate from medical school through their entire career.  As independent insurance consultants specializing in life insurance and living benefits we are contracted with all the major insurance companies in order to provide you with the best coverage to suit your individual needs.  We are also licensed in many of the provinces across Canada allowing us to continue to service you even if you relocate across the Country. 

Over twenty five years ago, Terry Zavitz president of Zavitz Insurance, was instrumental in establishing a disability insurance plan available to medical residents.  The plan allows residents to protect their income in the event of a disability, provides for the ability to increase coverage as income increases without regard to health, and provides for coverage in your own occupation.  The premiums and contract are completely guaranteed and the coverage is portable world wide.  Best of all, the premiums are discounted.

We welcome the opportunity to spend time with you to discuss insurance matters and we encourage you ask us any questions you may have.  We promise that we can help make the understanding of life and disability insurance easy, and hope that you discover how versatile it is and how it fits within your financial needs.

Zavitz Insurance continues to help educate the UWO residents on insurance and financial related subjects through semi monthly seminars at University Hospital.  These seminars are held the first Friday of every other month from 12pm to 1pm.  Please come out and join us; lunch is on us!
