Empowering Physicians Beyond Medicine .

Problem

Physicians graduate with exceptional medical training but minimal preparation for real-world challenges such as legal compliance, financial structuring, and professional risk management. Many only learn after facing lawsuits, HIPAA investigations, or contract disputes that could have been prevented with foundational knowledge.

Opportunity

Healthcare is growing more complex — with rising litigation, shifting employment models, the integration of AI and data security concerns, and renewed focus on private practice ownership. Success now requires not just clinical excellence but a fortified legal and business framework.

Solution

FortifiMD offers a one-stop educational platform that gives physicians practical, actionable tools to protect their practice, assets, and reputation. The program merges legal, financial, and operational education delivered by professionals who understand both sides: the medicine, which allows you to practice — and the law, which protects your ability to.

Empowering Physicians Beyond Medicine

FortifiMD is a subscription-based online education platform created by a board-certified plastic surgeon and licensed attorneys who specialize in the fields of medical malpractice litigation, contract negotiation, and healthcare law.

The platform empowers physicians with legal, financial, and professional literacy — giving them the tools to protect their practice, build resilient business structures, and navigate the complexities of modern medicine with confidence.

While most doctors graduate with extensive clinical training, few are taught how to handle the legal, financial, and contractual realities that come with the daily practice of medicine. FortifiMD bridges that gap through a dynamic curriculum that combines real-world case studies, legal expertise, and entrepreneurial insights to help doctors fortify their careers and assets.

Meet the Founders

Dr. Mario J. Samaha, MD, FACS

Founder of FortifiMD, Dr. Samaha brings firsthand experience from years of learning how to navigate the business side of medicine — often alone, and through trial and error. Despite having world-class medical training, he quickly realized that running a successful, compliant, and financially sound practice required skills that residency never covered. His mission through FortifiMD is to bridge that gap and empower physicians with the tools to protect their careers and thrive beyond medicine.
