This session provides practical and psychological preparation for physicians involved with malpractice litigation. Using one physician’s experience, the session seeks to reduce the shame and isolation associated with being sued. While not providing legal advice, the session addresses helpful tips and supports for physicians navigating the litigation process. No direct experience with malpractice is necessary in order to benefit from these important insights!
