AMA - Online Learning

Physicians have become become accustomed to facing threats such as Medical Malpractice.  However, there are an increasing number of issues arising that are detrimental to physicians and their practices.  This program is designed to provide physicians with a new perspective on the these growing threats, and how to effectively, and immediately, risk manage them. Specifically, topics rang from the new tactics of Licensing Boards, the “False Labeling” of physicians, “Sham Peer Reviews” and through to the exponential increase in Work Place Claims (Sexual Harassment, Hostile Work Environment, etc.). This program is designed to fundamentally change, new difficulties to their practice of medicine and how to dramatically reduce the career threatening risks attendant to each of them.
