A Year-End Recap

Through the monthly Risk Matters, online programs including specialty-specific programs, seminars, and individual communications with physicians, advanced practitioners, and practice executives, our Risk Education Department provides you with the most up-to-date, practical information to improve patient safety, avoid a malpractice claim or lawsuit, and inform you on the latest trends and laws that might adversely affect your practice.  For example, the topics we addressed in this year’s Sentinel were:

Curbside Opinions

Obstetrics Risks

Wearable Medical Devices

Remote Healthcare

Medical Malpractice Stress Syndrome

AI in Healthcare

Physicians Treating Self and Family

Informed Consent for Minors

Shadows

They Are Not Just "Little Adults"

In 2025, we will continue to provide live and online educational opportunities in both one hour and two-hour CME and premium credit courses, as well as courses designed specifically for staff members.  We are especially proud of our upcoming 2025 Live seminar which will take attendees “into the courtroom” to observe a medical malpractice trial. This is our largest educational endeavor to date, and we strongly encourage everyone to attend.

We hope everyone has a great rest of the year and we look forward to serving you in 2025.
