Laurel, Maryland (PRWEB) October 12, 2017 -- Founded for physicians by a physician, The IME Academy™ started as a passion project for recently named Leading Physician of the World, Dr. Emily Woolcock. Pursuing her passion to mentor and assist other physicians in breaking free from the devastating work/life balance issues she experienced early in her career, The IME Academy™ offers guidance to physicians on ways to financially capitalize on their passions and pursue their purpose by becoming a Medicolegal expert. Students are taught how to perform defensible, literature-based independent medical examinations (IMEs).

An Advisory Board Member for the American Board of Independent Medical Examiners since 2010 and internationally recognized Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. Woolcock understands the struggles physicians face as they become increasingly disenchanted by the changes in healthcare, suffer from overwhelming demands and failed attempts at work/life balance. These struggles lead to physician burnout which in some cases lead to physician suicide. “I finally reached a breaking point and needed to make drastic changes for my family and my sanity.” says Dr. Woolcock. “The world of medicolegal medicine was the lucrative specialty that changed everything for me.”

Recalling a pivotal moment, Dr. Woolcock said, “After my baby miraculously survived a devastating condition, I was overcome with guilt. I realized that I could no longer work 60 plus hours per week and spend my nights in the emergency and operating rooms. After work, there was very little of me left for my children. I realized that I had no choice but to find a way to strike a balance between my love for my family and my love for caring for others.”

A viable solution, according to Dr. Woolcock, is for physicians to pursue supplemental career options to not only reduce their clinical workload, but also increase income and expand their expertise. The academy’s core curriculum, an intensive two-week course, is designed to ensure graduating physicians can immediately start securing cases and begin the journey to building a successful IME practice.

To ensure physician success and reduce the learning curve of ‘real-world’ medicolegal exams, The IME Academy™ places special focus on report-writing skills and comprehension of the medical terminology associated with medicolegal exams. Academy curriculum includes:

THE IMPORTANCE OF IMEs: Learn the definition of an IME and how the exams are used in the industry.

PEER REVIEWS & MEDICAL FILE REVIEWS: Peer Reviews and Medical File Reviews are discussed and differentiated.

WRITE WINNING REPORTS: Learn report structure and specific writing skills necessary to perform and document competent exams.

PROPER INTERVIEW TECHNIQUES: Learn how to examine patients, including an opportunity for a live examination.

PERSONAL ACTION PLAN: Learn how to build a successful medicolegal practice with a review of different practice models.

In addition to the rich curriculum and accountability sessions with Dr. Woolcock, Academy graduates are provided with resources and tools to help ensure post-graduation success, including IME report templates, Fee Schedule templates and Retainer Agreement templates to provide the ultimate blueprint for writing no-fail reports, as well as a list of company contacts and access to a growing online community for continued support.

Leveraging the growing trend of dynamic learning environments, The IME Academy™ is an online educational platform. Physicians have an opportunity to dial in from the comfort of their homes, alleviating the need to take time off from work or incur the expense of paying for travel and hotels. Enrollment is open to a limited number of physicians until October 15th, with classes beginning October 17, 2017.
