Please join us for this virtual meeting hosted by The Doctors Company (TDC) in collaboration with Orange County Medical Association, San Diego County Medical Society, and San Bernardino County Medical Society!

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to be face-to-face with a plaintiff attorney as you attempt to defend your medical care of a patient with an unfortunate outcome? Hopefully, you will never be in this situation. Physicians have worries about being sued for malpractice. Attend this program to learn important insights from closed malpractice claims and to observe a dramatization of malpractice litigation with three outstanding physicians and Top Gun plaintiff attorneys!

Physicians benefit from an increased awareness and understanding of lessons learned from closed malpractice claims. Over one third of medical malpractice claims are reported to include an allegation of diagnostic error. This session will look at the most frequent types of diagnostic errors and high severity malpractice claims related to diagnostic error. Please join us virtually for an informative program that will provide 1.5 CME Credits
