Legal Expertise and Financial Support for
the Challenges the CMPA Doesn’t Cover
Protecting Canadian Physicians Where Others Don't
At DefenseMD, we fill the critical gaps in legal and financial protection that Canadian physicians face every day. While your medical training prepared you to save lives, it didn't prepare you for the complex legal challenges that threaten your career, reputation, and well-being.
The Protection Gap You Didn't Know Existed
Many physicians discover too late that the Canadian Medical Protective Association (CMPA) primarily covers patient-care issues. When facing regulatory investigations, billing disputes, or workplace conflicts, you're often told to hire your own lawyer, leaving you vulnerable, isolated, and financially exposed.
Your Complementary Defense Solution
DefenseMD was created by physicians who understand these challenges firsthand. Our membership-based organization provides:
​
-
Legal Expense Coverage up to $50,000 for both professional challenges (regulatory investigations, disciplinary inquiries) and personal matters (consumer disputes, tax audits, employment conflicts). *
​​
-
Unlimited Access to a Legal Helpline offering expert legal advice whenever you need it, from document reviews to dispute guidance.
​​
-
Educational Resources including webinars, workshops, and conferences designed to help physicians minimize litigation risks.
