MAC Premier Medical-Legal Forum 1:00 PM – 5:30 PM

Presented by: Kathleen Stillwell

A malpractice claim is not your only medical practice risk! Physicians face many concerning risks beyond malpractice that may threaten their practice of medicine. Beyond the findings of closed malpractice claims, for plastic surgeons and dermatologists, you must be aware of employer/employee issues, including the use of advanced practice providers. You face complaints of harassment and discrimination by patients and employees, social media and reputation insults, mergers and acquisitions in the aesthetic and cosmetic market, investigation by regulatory agencies, and state medical board investigations. Attend this Special Legal Forum to increase your awareness and insight into risks and issues you may face in your practice. Come and hear from the experts…bring your questions!
