🕒 Most programs require you to apply before or within 90 days of graduation—don’t wait until it’s too late.

Who is eligible?
Residents and fellows at qualifying hospitals who haven't applied with another carrier other than Guardian.
Any medical exam required?
No. This is Guardian’s Guaranteed Standard Issue program—no health questions or exams necessary.
What is the policy type?
Guardian’s Provider Choice policy offers an enhanced own‑occupation definition for physicians.
Approaching graduation?
Apply while still in training or within 90 days after graduation to secure eligibility.
Can I apply with another insurance company first?
No—if you apply for medically underwritten disability coverage with another carrier before using Guardian’s GSI option, you will be permanently ineligible for GSI. Always secure your Guardian GSI policy first if you’re eligible.
How much does this cost, and are discounts included?
Guardian offers GSI discounts of up to 30%, and many physicians in training see premiums starting between $50 and $75 per month. These discounts are locked in for the life of the policy—even after graduation.
Don’t see your school listed? Email me or text me at (301) 970‑4616 and I’ll check if we have a GSI program at your institution.
