You practice in a dynamic and challenging environment. While keeping clinically current is imperative, it isn't enough. You must also acquire the skills necessary to navigate a professional liability minefield, manage a more effective and efficient practice, and navigate a maze of healthcare laws and regulations. The 2009-10 Medical-Dental-Legal Update is designed to assist you in that endeavor.
In one course you will receive 20 hours of vital instruction from national experts, including 12 sessions on reducing your malpractice, regulatory and business risk with discussions on asset protection, adverse event management, managed care liability and your exposure as an employer. Other talks explore realization of the financial (AARA and otherwise) and operational potential of Electronic Healthcare Records (EHR) and enhancing office access and productivity. And still others review prevalent clinical issues like the prescription drug diversion, identifying and treating gout, and the relationship between obesity and mortality as well as available treatment modalities. Remarkably, there's more.
Produced in state-of-the-art production studios with broadcast-grade digital technology, The Update is presented in a structured classroom setting affording you the opportunity for dialogue with your medical, dental and legal colleagues. The course is approved for up to 20 hours of AMA PRA Category 1 CME credit as well as extensive Continuing Legal Education and Continuing Dental Education credit and through September 2009 you will have over 900 opportunities to attend at your choice of 32 premier sun and ski resorts - virtually any week you choose.
