Getting started
Ready to learn more or get started? We’re here to help!
The decision to enrol is an important one, so there are a few steps we’ll need to take together to get started and make sure Medicus is a good fit for you.
What to expect
Enrolment is open to physicians in eligible provinces and Territories. See the eligibility page for details.
There’s a short form to fill out. You can get started here.
If you’re eligible to participate, our Medicus Support Team will contact you to set up a discovery meeting and to provide some additional resources for you to review.
What you can do:
- Review this website, including the Plan summary, Role of the participating employer, and FAQs
- Read through the resources our team will provide
- Consider sharing resources with a trusted advisor, and discuss how Medicus can fit into your overall retirement planning
- Make a list of any questions you have
Together with a member of our Medicus Support Team, you will:
- confirm your eligibility to participate in the plan
- review key considerations for joining the plan
- ask any questions you have
- discuss your readiness to enrol, and
- even get your enrolment started
If you like, you can have a trusted advisor join you on your discovery meeting call.
We’re ready when you are
After your discovery meeting, you’ll have 90 days to complete your enrolment in the plan – which gives you lots of time to discuss with your advisor, ask any follow up questions, and make your decision. Keep in mind, the longer you are a member of Medicus the larger your monthly pension benefit will be when you retire – and it’s payable for the rest of your life.
