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 master a maze of healthcare laws and regulations. The 2008-9 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 9 sessions on reducing your malpractice and regulatory exposure featuring instruction on asset protection, adverse event management and critical new Medicare anti-markup regulations coming into effect January, 2009. Other talks explore topics such as embezzlement in the healthcare office, Electronic Medical Records and cultural competency. And still others review "hot" clinical topics like the medical response to domestic violence, HIV/AIDS, HPV, depression complicated by pain, the latest colon cancer screening guidelines and much 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 31 premier sun and ski resorts – virtually any week you choose.
