The goal of the Resident and Fellow Section (RFS) of the Medical Society of Delaware (MSD) is to provide Delaware residents & fellows with an awareness of MSD activities within the medical community, and provide an opportunity for engagement in those activities.
In addition, MSD can help as you complete your training and navigate the early years of your medical career. We offer several useful resources to member residents and fellows including:
-
Resources for making your employment connection. Health Careers Connect connects you directly with companies recruiting within the health care field. It is a web-based employment service for job seekers and employers for which MSD members are provided a significant discount. Offers can be found or made on a national or local level and everything is kept confidential.
-
Resources to help you negotiate your first contract. MSD members have access to MSD’s legal counsel and are provided one free legal consultation annually to answer questions, help direct, or give assurance regarding legal issues. Continued assistance is offered at a significant discount.
-
Resources to manage your finances. MSD has relationships with several local banks and financial planning companies who would be happy to provide you with the information you need to start your career on the right financial foot.
-
Resources providing access to all your necessary insurances. Medical Society of Delaware Insurance Services, Inc. (MSDIS) provides accessibility and affordability. MSDIS is one of the largest insurance brokerage operations in Delaware offering physicians access to Medical Malpractice, Health Insurance, Life Insurance, Pension Plans, Liability Insurance, Disability Insurance, Personal Insurance, Dental Plans, and Workers’ Compensation coverage.
