Joanne Wayman’s career has evolved from that of an emergency department nurse in a teaching hospital in Chicago, to a community hospital in New Hampshire, then on to a trauma center in Massachusetts. After her tenure in the clinical setting, Joanne worked as a nurse consultant for a plaintiffs’ medical malpractice firm in Florida and a defense firm in Austin, Texas. While in Texas, Joanne received her Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Texas at Austin.
Medical Malpractice insurance defense work was the next logical step in career development. Joanne worked for a physician insurer in New Jersey then started the medical malpractice claims unit at Executive Risk Specialty Insurance (ERSIC) in Connecticut. ERSIC was subsequently acquired by the Chubb Group of Insurance Companies where Joanne spent the next ten years initially as a claim examiner then supervisor and ultimately heading up the Medical Malpractice Unit with a staff of 24. As the Medical Malpractice runoff occurred, (??) Joanne also negotiated high-severity claims for Casualty Bodily Injury claims.
