2022 Chairman's Message

Home / About Us / Chairman's Message

AHPIA/Academic Group was founded by medical teaching professionals exclusively to meet the unique professional liability insurance needs of clinical educators and physician faculty in the state of New York. This founding principal of protecting the physicians and health professionals who teach and serve as role models for today’s medical learners remains a driving force at the company. While physician faculty and staff remain the backbone of Academic Group subscribers, I am thrilled to announce that the Board of Governors has approved an extension of coverage for healthcare providers that are working outside academia. 


Our company continues to strengthen financially. 


AHPIA subscribers can count on liability protection and prevention through meaningful educational programs. This year, in addition to the Med-IQ program, AHPIA offers at no cost to subscribers, the SAGES (Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons) educational program. 


  • Possible regulatory changes (i.e. Grieving Families Act) will have significant negative NY MPL industry impact
  • Discuss our continued improvement in financial strength
  • We are focused on operating cost controls, especially in this inflationary environment
  • Claims management continues to yield good results where cases are typically closed with reserve redundancy
  • Management team has deep industry experience and we promoted our Asst Underwriter to Chief Underwriter with retirement of former Chief of 28 years.
