Bridge the gap between healthcare and workplace injuries
Orthopaedic surgeons and health care professionals turn to this established course to increase their effectiveness beyond clinical treatment to incorporate current legal, administrative, ethical, and insurance issues into handling workers’ compensation cases.
New topics and faculty offer current perspectives to causation, diagnosis, and treatment options to improve outcomes for work-related injuries. Learn effective strategies for handling the related non-medical issues such as utilization review, causation, report writing, medical liability, depositions, and
communication skills with patients.
Morning sessions cover core topics such as causation, impairment, return-towork and stay-at-work strategies, and occupational orthopaedics with panel Q&A.
