Inside you’ll find details about new seminars for physicians, office managers and staff, and the latest on e-learning courses, which can be taken any time of day or night and from anywhere with Internet access. Details on practice assessments and the Fellowship Program are also included in the guide.

Reduce your liability exposure, save up to 15% each year on your insurance premium, and earn AMA PRA Category 1 credits™ when you participate in Risk Rewards activities.

All testing now online

Starting in 2008, all ISMIE Risk Rewards tests must be completed online. Paper versions of any tests will not be accepted, unless you are completing a test on-site at a live seminar.

Taking your test online allows you to see your test score right away. Online testing is also accessible at your convenience – 24 hours a day, every day, and anywhere you have a computer and Internet connection.

To help make this transition as easy as possible, ISMIE has developed “Navigating Risk Rewards: Your Roadmap to Success,” an interactive guide to get you up and running. This guide is being mailed to all policyholders. To request additional copies, visit www.ismie.com, and click on “Navigating Risk Rewards” or call 800-782-4767, ext. 3300.

Join the conversation

Risk Rewards Connect, an audio conference series, is under development for 2008. You can participate in these risk management discussions via phone on topics such as changes in Illinois law and lessons learned from case studies. Conversations will be facilitated by various professionals, such as claims staff, academic faculty or defense attorneys. Stay tuned for more information.
