The Big Surprise
[By Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA CMP®]
http://www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org
OK – I was a Certified Financial Planner® before my academic team launched the Certified Medical Planner™ online and on-ground chartered education and board certification designation program a few years ago. I am now CFP reformed and in remission.
Enter the Certified Medical Planner™ Chartered Designation
Today, we are of course, gratified that Certified Medical Planner™ mark notoriety is growing organically in the healthcare, as well as financial services, industry.
Even uber-blogger Mike Kitces MSFS, MTAX, CFP, CLU, ChFC, RHU, REBC, CASL has taken note of us in his musings on the Nerd’s Eye View website. And, the reality is that there are a growing number of CFP educational programs at the post-CFP niche market level.
But, none for healthcare industrial complex: for doctors … by doctors!
Popularity of our Text Books
However, it is our modern, innovative and proprietary Certified Medical Planner™ textbooks and dictionaries that have exploded in the academic marketplace.
In fact, they are now redacted in thousands of medical, graduate, law and B-schools and libraries, as well as colleges and universities throughout the nation. This includes the Library of Congress, National Institute of Health and the Library of Congress.
What Gives?
We have been told that this textbook popularity and publishing success is because of their balanced and peer-reviewed nature; something not very widespread in the financial services industry that is prone to gross and overstated advertising, salesmanship and marketing hyperbole. And, for this we are very gratified.
But, is there another reason our books are so popular?
A bit of networking and research suggests that interested folks may be eschewing the actual course work in favor of just the high quality textbooks! UGH!
Another reason may be that our books and curricula are kept fresh and updated on our corporate website: http://www.MedicalBusinessAdvisors.com
Assessment
So, what do you think? Matriculation with the professional mark versus self study without the designation mark. Please opine.

Textbooks,
I have most of them and they are indeed well written, sourced, cited and medically focused; unlike other “targeted” works of mere sales puffery.
