Every year approximately 10-20% of physicians are named as defendants in medical malpractice suits (and 80% are not).

Physicians who complete this program will understand:
 |
The elements required to prove a claim of medical malpractice |
|
Other legal obligations of physicians |
|
The natural history of malpractice suits |
|
The differences in behavior of non-sued and sued physicians |
|
Strategies for reducing medical malpractice risk |
