Activity Overview:

This course offers an extensive series of videos developed to help physicians and other health care professionals understand the malpractice process and learn how to protect themselves against lawsuits.
This material can’t be found in medical school curriculums, but it should be a standard required course. The majority of physicians and other healthcare professionals WILL be faced with a lawsuit at some point in their careers.
Education about malpractice and how to prevent it could be the difference between a long career and one cut short by the emotional, professional and financial consequences of a damaging lawsuit.

This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of Medical Academy and Ala Carte CME. Medical Academy is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
