A retreat from ESG is due to backlash from conservatives who are critical of the idea that fund managers should be considering any other factor but a company’s shareholders in their investment decisions. Accusations of “greenwashing” have also plagued many ESG funds, which is when an asset management firm charges higher fees for a specific thematic fund without actually delivering a unique investment strategy.

Do you ever wish you could acquire specific information for your career activities without having to complete a university Master’s Degree or finish our entire Certified Medical Planner™ professional designation program?

Read on to learn how our three Micro-Certifications offer new opportunities for professional growth in the medical practice, business management, health economics and financial planning, investing and advisory space for physicians, nurses and healthcare professionals.
Stock-Brokers, Financial Advisors, Investment Advisors, Accountants, Consultants, Financial Analyists and Financial Planners need to enhance their knowledge skills to better serve the changing and challenging healthcare professional ecosystem. But, it can be difficult to learn and demonstrate mastery of these new skills to employers, clients, physicians or medical prospects. This makes professional advancement difficult. That’s where Micro-Certification and Micro-Credentialing enters the online educational space. It is the process of earning a Micro-Certification, which is like a mini-degree or mini-credential, in a very specific topical area.
Once you’ve completed all of the requirements for our Micro-Certification, you will be awarded proof that you’ve earned it. This might take the form of a paper or digital certificate, which may be a hard document or electronic image, transcript, file, or other official evidence that you’ve completed the necessary work.
Micro-Certifications may be used to demonstrate to physicians prospective medical clients that you’ve mastered a certain knowledge set. Because of this, Micro-Certifications are useful for those financial service professionals seeking medical clients, employment or career advancement opportunities.
Here are the three most popular Micro-Certification course from the Institute of Medical Business Advisors, Inc:
Other Topics include: economics, finance, investing, marketing, advertising, sales, start-ups, business plan creation, financial planning and entrepreneurship, etc.
Now that you’re familiar with Micro-Credentialing, you might consider earning a Micro-Certification with us. We offer 3 official Micro-Certificates by completing a one month online course, with a live instructor consisting of twelve asynchronous lessons/online classes [3/wk X 4/weeks = 12 classes]. The earned official completion certificate can be used to demonstrate mastery of a specific skill set and shared with current or future employers, current clients or medical niche financial advisory prospects.
Mini-Certification Tuition, Books and Related Fees
The tuition for each Mini-Certification live online course is $1,250 with the purchase of one required dictionary handbook. Other additional guides, white-papers, videos, files and e-content are all supplied without charge. Alternative courses may be developed in the future subject to demand and may change without notice.

At the end of August, pharmaceutical giant Pfizer announced a new website called PfizerForAll, which provides information on common health issues like migraines or the flu and connects patients to tele-health services and prescription delivery services so they can get treatments and diagnostic tests delivered to their homes. Pfizer promotes some of its own therapies, including Paxlovid for Covid-19 and Nurtec for migraines, on the site.
And, that move came after rival pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly started LillyDirect in January, through which the company delivers prescriptions straight to patients. Eli Lilly also partnered with Amazon Pharmacy in March to deliver some of its medications to consumers’ doorsteps, including Ozempic competitor Zepbound, a GLP-1 weight loss drug.

It’s going to be a gloomy October for some 1,800 PwC employees. The Big Four firm has announced it’ll be laying off around 2.5% of its US unit’s workforce next month, the Wall Street Journal reported. About half of the job cuts will take place offshore. The cuts will occur mainly in PwC’s US advisory, products, and technology operations functions.

Nearly a year after filing for Chapter 11, Rite Aid announced on September 3 that the company has exited the bankruptcy process and will move forward as a private company. The retail pharmacy chain filed for bankruptcy in October 2023 as it struggled to keep up with competitors CVS and Walgreens, in addition to mounting debt, falling revenue, and multimillion-dollar opioid settlements.
Stocks wrapped up a comeback last week, with all three major indexes ending the trading session on a high note. Both the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ enjoyed five straight winning days, and both indexes had their best week of the year. Gold continued to break records today, as the double whammy of forthcoming rate cuts and a declining dollar sent the precious metal soaring. Oil rose a bit today after Hurricane Francine passed over the Gulf of Mexico and output began to normalize. Bitcoin staged a late afternoon rally to end the week over 9% higher than where it started, as investors embraced risk and optimism swept through markets.

Healthcare comes with its share of mental challenges, especially considering that clinicians often care for patients when they’re in difficult and sometimes tragic situations. New research shows that even the path to getting into the workforce can be a challenge, with some physicians burning out before they make it to graduation.
CITE: https://www.r2library.com/Resource
Most doctors report feeling overworked and are considering a change in career, according to a new poll.
Doximity, a virtual network for physicians, found that 81% doctors surveyed last fall said they felt overworked—a slight decline from 86% who reported burnout in 2022 but still up from 73% in 2021. Meanwhile, about three in five doctors said they were considering early retirement (30%), looking for another employer (15%), or leaving the profession altogether (14%), the poll found.
The findings, released last year, come amid reports of rising rates of physician burnout and dissatisfaction since after the Covid-19 pandemic.

The country’s largest private, for-profit hospital chain paid out a $790 million dividend — with a big chunk of that money going to its Manhattan-based private equity owner — before it filed for bankruptcy several years later, according to a report. Steward Health Care System, the Boston-based network of 30 hospitals that operated in rural and low-income areas, made the payout to Cerberus Capital Management in 2016, the same year the chain recorded a net loss of $300 million, The Wall Street Journal reported.

By Dr. David Marcinko MBA MEd CMP
http://www.MarcinkoAssociates.com
Initial public offerings, known as IPOs, tend to attract a lot of investor interest – especially when the company is well-known. However, that excitement isn’t always matched by investment returns.
“Tips and Pearls”
So, here are some tips to consider before you decide to invest in an IPO:
• Don’t let the excitement surrounding an IPO cloud your judgment. Too often, there is little financial information about the companies themselves, and many are not profitable. This can translate into extremely volatile stock prices.
• While an IPO’s stock price tends to rise on the day it begins trading, investors who bought shares at the end of the first day haven’t always fared well. The stocks have often fallen below the closing first-day price after six months.
High volatility and a falling stock price are not generally a recipe for attractive investor returns.
So what steps should you take if you’re still interested in an IPO?
1. Understand that the opening price will likely be different from the official IPO price. New issues can experience extreme volatility in the first few hours and days of trading in the secondary market. When the company’s stock opens for secondary trading and becomes more widely available, the price can be significantly different from the IPO price set by the security underwriters. In addition, new issues often do not begin trading the moment the market opens.
2. Use a limit order. This can help you avoid paying more for the stock than you intended. Once you understand the risks of purchasing a stock during its first public trading days, work with your financial advisor to determine the highest price you’re willing to pay for the stock, and then set that amount as your limit.
3. Remember that an IPO must be priced before an order can be accepted. For example, Edward Jones typically does not accept orders until after an IPO has been priced, which is usually the morning the new issue begins trading. In addition, your financial advisor is not permitted to accept market orders for any IPO prior to its trading in the secondary market.

Assessment
Remember to always do your homework before deciding on any investment, including an IPO. This includes working with your financial advisor or accountant to determine whether the investment is suitable for your portfolio.

After rising for more than a year, the unemployment rate fell to 4.2% in August from 4.3% in July, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported. That dip matched Wall Street’s consensus forecast, but the 142,000 new jobs added fell short of the 160,000 that analysts had expected, according to FactSet data cited by CNN.
The Biden administration released a final rule this week that would require payers to cover behavioral health services, including addiction care, to the same extent that they’d cover all other forms of healthcare. The move comes amid a rising mental health crisis in the US and in light of the fact that the vast majority of people with substance use disorders don’t receive treatment.

Experts estimate that it can cost more than $1 million to recruit and train a replacement for a doctor who leaves the profession because of burnout. But, as no broad calculation of burnout costs exists, Dr. Tait Shanafelt [Mayo Clinic researcher and Stanford Medicine’s first Chief Physician Wellness Officer] said Stanford, Harvard Business School, Mayo Clinic and the American Medical Association (AMA) are further cost estimating the issue. Nevertheless, Shanafelt and other researchers have shown that burnout erodes job performance, increases medical errors, and leads doctors to leave a profession they once loved.

Of course you don’t need a human financial advisor … until you do.
Today, we’ve had unfettered internet access to a wide range of investments, opinions and models for at least two decades. So, why the bravado to go it alone; five straight positive years for equities, since 2009!
The financial advisor’s role is to remove the human element and emotion from investing decisions for something as personal as your wealth. Emotion drives the retail investor to sell low (fear) and buy high (greed). This is the reason why the average equity returns for retail investors is less than half of the S&Ps returns.
No, of course you don’t need a human financial advisor … until you do. And when you do, it may be too late.

Dell and Palantir are poised to be added to the S&P 500 index, replacing Etsy and American Airlines, respectively.
CITE: https://www.r2library.com/Resource
Markets: September has been around for one week, and it’s already taking a toll on the market. Stocks dipped yesterday after new government data showed the labor market continuing to cool, capping off the S&P 500’s worst week since March 2023 and the NASDAQ’s worst since 2022. Nvidia had another rough day as investors fretted about tech stocks.
The Labor Department said that the economy added 142,000 jobs in August, which was fewer than economists expected, bringing the three-month job creation average to its lowest since mid-2020.

[By Staff Reporters]
SPONSOR: http://www.MarcinkoAssociates.com
According to the website, Engage with Grace, we make choices throughout our lives — where we want to live, what types of activities will fill our days, and with whom we spend our time, etc. These choices are often a balance between our desires and our means, but at the end of the day, they are decisions made with intent.
Somehow when we get close to death, however, we stop making decisions. We get frozen in our tracks and can’t talk about our preferences for end of life care.
Death Studies
Studies loom out there — 73% of Americans would prefer to die at home, but anywhere between 20-50% of Americans die in hospital settings. More than 80% of Californians say their loved ones “know exactly” or have a “good idea” of what their wishes would be if they were in a persistent coma, but only 50% say they’ve talked to them about their preferences.
But, end of life experience is about a lot more than statistics. It’s about all of us.
Genesis and Epiphany
In the summer of 2008, Matt Holt (Founder of Health2.0) and Alexandra Drane (President of Eliza) met with some friends for dinner. Over their second cocktail, they got deep into conversation about these very topics. Many of us live with such intent — why do we put the end of our lives in someone else’s control? Why isn’t this topic a conversation that people are having? How could we help start it? And it hit them — What if we could work together to start a viral movement — a movement focused on improving the end of life experience? What if we took responsibility for starting a national (even global) discussion that, until now, most of us haven’t had?
Engage With Grace
The One Slide Project was designed with one simple goal: to help get the conversation about end of life experience started. The idea is simple: Create a tool to help get people talking. One Slide, with just five questions on it. Five questions designed to help get us talking with each other, with our loved ones, about our preferences. And we’re asking people to share this One Slide — wherever and whenever they can… at a presentation, at dinner, at their book club. Just One Slide with five questions to help get all of us talking about death. Just One Slide that we as a community could collectively rally around sharing — in meetings, at a conference, or over a drink.
This is the link to the slide, and this is what we are asking you to do …
Download the One Slide — http://engagewithgrace.org/about/
Share it any time you can — at the end of presentations, at dinner, or at your book club. Think of the slide as currency and donate just two minutes whenever you can. Commit to being able to answer these five questions about end of life experience for yourself and for your loved ones. Then commit to helping others do the same. Get this conversation started.
Assessment
Let’s start a viral movement driven by the change we as individuals can affect …and the incredibly positive impact we could have collectively. Donate just two minutes to adding just this One Slide to the end of your presentations. Get others involved. Help ensure that all of us — and the people we care for — can end our lives in the same purposeful way we live them.
Just One Slide, just one goal. Think of the enormous difference we can make together.

A bad day for Nvidia got even worse on Tuesday when Bloomberg reported that the Department of Justice subpoenaed the chipmaker as part of its investigation into whether the world’s hottest company unfairly wields its industry dominance. Yesterday, Nvidia denied it was technically subpoenaed. Bloomberg followed up to say that Nvidia was merely splitting hairs about the type of request it received from the DOJ but that it was in fact asked to answer questions about its empire.

Did you know that Federal and state laws require Registered Investment Advisors [RIAs] be held to a fiduciary standard? To satisfy this extremely high legal standard, an advisor must act solely in the best interest of the client, even if that interest is in conflict with the advisor’s own financial interests. Investment Advisors [IAs] must disclose any conflict, or potential conflict, to the client prior to and throughout a business engagement. Investment Advisors must fully disclose, in writing, how they are compensated. In addition, most adopt a Code of Ethics to ensure that fiduciary obligations are achieved.
Brokers or Advisors
Unfortunately, not all “financial advisors” work for federally or state-registered investment advisory firms. Many so-called financial advisors are registered representatives, better known as stock-brokers, and are employed by brokerage firms [broker-dealers]. Generally, these registered representatives [RRs] need not comply with the fiduciary duty standard that is owed when you are dealing with a registered investment advisory firm. Because broker-dealers are not necessarily acting in your best interest, the SEC [remember what a fine job former Commissioner Chris Cox did for investors in the Bernie Madoff incident?] and FINRA [NASD] require them to add the following disclosure to your client agreement.
Disclosure
Read this disclosure, and decide if this is the type of relationship you want to dictate your financial security:
“Your account is a brokerage account and not an advisory account. Our interests may not always be the same as yours. Please ask us questions to make sure you understand your rights and our obligations to you, including the extent of our obligations to disclose conflicts of interest and to act in your best interest. We are paid both by you and, sometimes, by people who compensate us based on what you buy. Therefore, our profits, and our salespersons’ compensation, may vary by product and over time.”
Disclaimers
If this disclaimer appears in agreements you are signing, or have already signed, you should ask questions of your advisor. S/he’s probably a broker. Obtain complete disclosure about how he or she is compensated, and where his or her first loyalties lie. Then decide if the relationship is in your best interest [Source: www.focusonfiduciary.com NAPFA Consumer Education Foundation]. Also, consider mediation and arbitration clauses very carefully. Do not wave your rights to litigation. Your patients do not; and neither should you!
Assessment
I am a doctor, former stock-broker, registered-rep, certified financial planner and licensed insurance agent who decided there must be a better way to help physician colleagues. As a health economist, and Founder of www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org I’ve believe I’ve found that way.

Pfizer is stepping out from the pharmacy aisle and into the living room with a new website called PfizerForAll. The platform helps patients find information about migraines, Covid, flu, or other seasonal respiratory viruses, the pharma giant said in a Tuesday press release.
Eli Lilly is slashing the price of its blockbuster weight loss drug, Zepbound, offering new, single-dose vials, the company announced on August 27th. Self-pay patients with an on-label prescription can purchase 2.5-mg and 5-mg single-dose vials of Zepbound at roughly 50% off the drug’s list price through the pharma giant’s direct-to-consumer website, LillyDirect, which launched in January. This is the first time the drug maker has offered the drug in single-dose vials rather than an auto-injector.

Recent data suggest that the US labor market is softening, and the Federal Reserve appears to be taking notice. The Fed gave a strong signal in July that it was prepared to cut the federal funds rate target by 25 basis points in September. And so, Vanguard RIA is anticipating an additional second 25-basis-point cut this year and a target range of 3.25%–3.5% at the end of 2025.

Dear Medical Executive-Post Readers and Subscribers
To give my health a boost, I’m taking a complete break from alcohol, sugar, cookies, ice cream, coffee and tea for the entire month of September. Besides that, I’ll also prioritize sleep and increase my exercise from 7 to at least 10 times [hours] a week. This will allow me to focus on my diet and mental well-being. It’s essentially a month of health and wellness rejuvenation.
I’ve chosen to focus on alcohol and sugar because I want to challenge the idea that moderate drinking is part of a healthy lifestyle. In reality, only those who maintain a healthy lifestyle can afford to enjoy alcohol in moderation. But, sugar is everywhere and must be minimized for Type II diabetes and weight control.
Moreover, the long-term and excessive intake of sugary beverages and refined sugars can negatively impact your overall caloric intake and create a domino effect on your health. For example, excess sugar in the body can turn into fat deposits and lead to fatty liver disease.
A low sugar diet can help you lose weight and also help you manage and/or prevent diabetes, heart disease5 and stroke, reduce inflammation, and even improve your mood and the health of your skin. That’s why the low sugar approach is a key tenet of other well-known healthy eating patterns, such as the Mediterranean diet and the DASH diet.
And so, do you also commit to such “factory resets” now and then? Please comments. Do, enjoy the Labor Day Weekend, Bar-B-Ques with friends, family and colleagues.
I hope you continue to find the Medical Executive-Post useful!
Many thanks for your referrals.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has been doing victory laps since announcing discounts on August 15 for 10 of the most expensive Medicare Part D drugs, a change that is set to go into effect in 2026. These discounts, called maximum fair prices (MFPs), kick off annual negotiations between the CMS and drug manufacturers. The negotiations were made possible by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which also brings other changes such as Medicare Part D benefit redesign.

McKesson plans to grow its oncology platform by investing nearly $2.5 billion for a 70% stake in Community Oncology Revitalization Enterprise Ventures (Core Ventures), which was launched earlier this year by Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute (FCS). The institute is a group practice of more than 250 physicians, 280 advanced practice providers and almost 100 Florida locations that will remain independent following the deal’s close. The deal will bring advanced treatments and improved care to patients while reducing the overall cost of care, McKesson’s chief executive said.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a new report detailing total complaints related to the No Surprises Act and Affordable Care Act compliance. Providers and consumers earned $4.18 million in relief. More than 12,000 complaints were tied to the No Surprises Act compliance, 10,300 of which were against providers, facilities and air ambulance services. Most of such complaints were about surprise billing for non-emergency services at an in-network facility, followed by surprise billing for emergency services and good faith estimates.
And…Electronic health records giant Epic recently announced plans to transition its customers to TEFCA, the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement, a nationwide network to exchange patient data that was mandated by the 21st Century Cures Act back in 2016. On the same day, Carequality, an interoperability network that Epic belongs to, also announced that it plans to align with TEFCA. As one of the largest health IT vendors in the industry, Epic’s commitment to moving customers over to TECFA is noteworthy and will likely help to drive adoption, health IT experts say.

The National Football League is expected to vote to allow private equity ownership of franchises, marking a significant change to its ultra-exclusive ownership club. The vote, all but guaranteed to pass, is a historic softening by the NFL, which will be the last of the major sports leagues in North America to permit private equity ownership. The NBA, MLB and NHL currently allow PE to own up to 30% of a team, while the NFL’s expected cap is 10%.
And, the stock of PDD Holdings, parent company of the fast-growing Temu shopping app, sank more than 30% on Monday, losing more than $50 billion in market value, after the e-commerce giant posted disappointing revenue results and executives warned of rapid competition and non-business challenges that may dampen growth and profits going forward.

Here’s where the major benchmarks ended:
About half of S&P 500 sectors finished in the green today. Financials have been on a roll lately amid rate cut hopes and continued their solid performance Tuesday, while energy did a 180 Tuesday as crude oil lost ground.
Treasury yields remained in their recent trading range, with the gap narrowing further between the 2-year and 10-year Treasury note yields to roughly seven basis points. The inversion, in which two-year yields hold a premium to 10-year yields, reached 100 basis points a year ago as the Fed rapidly raised rates. The 10-year yield got some traction today from a solid Consumer Confidence report.

Apple has announced “it’s glowtime” for a Sept. 9th event during which the company is expected to debut the iPhone 16.
And, Uber was fined 290 million euros ($347 million) by Dutch regulators for transferring driver data from the EU to the US. It’s one of the biggest fines ever issued under the EU’s data privacy law.
Icahn Enterprises L.P.’s stock tumbled 11.5% Monday to close at a roughly 21-year low, after billionaire Carl Icahn’s publicly traded investing arm filed to sell up to $400 million of its depositary units in an “at-the-market offering.” The news comes after Icahn and his company agreed last week to pay $2 million in civil penalties for failing to make required disclosures relating to personal margin loans worth billions of dollars. The stock closed at $14.07, its lowest level since it closed at $14.04 on Nov. 25, 2003.
Papa John’s (NASDAQ:PZZA) rose 4% and then surged amid some takeover speculation concerning Restaurants Brands (QSR), the parent of Burger King and Tim Hortons.

Telehealth has taken more hits lately than a piñata at a birthday party. For example:
In April, UnitedHealth Group announced it was shutting down its Optum Virtual Care program. Days later, Walmart announced it would shutter both Walmart Health and Walmart Health Virtual Care.
And in July, Teladoc posted a net loss of $838 million in Q2. The drop was largely driven by an impairment charge of ~$800 million for BetterHelp, the virtual mental health platform it acquired in 2015, Fierce Healthcare reported. Executives attributed the decline to increased customer acquisition costs, among other factors.
