Advocate University
My mission is to provide agents with industry educational tools, resources, and best practices that will enable them to establish, grow, and retain their Medicare membership.

Advocate University Director
Advocate University
Advocate University was created - to help licensed insurance agents establish, grow, and retain their books of business! Our goal is to take our years of combined experience from our Regional Managers, leaders, and experienced professional agents and agency partners and share best practices and strategies. Here at Advocate Health, we like to say that you are in business for yourself, but not by yourself. Our training program is interactive and relevant, keeping you up to date on the always-changing Medicare landscape and compliance rules, as well as providing you with best practices for marketing and lead generation!
Advocate University provides a venue to work together, learn from each other, and make connections. Whether you are brand new to Medicare or an experienced seller, Advocate University has something for agents at every stage in their Medicare business!
