This seminar is designed specifically for Virginia physicians seeking to stay ahead of the evolving landscape of medical malpractice. With the rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into healthcare, the need for robust collaboration agreements, and ongoing legislative changes in Virginia, this course provides critical insights and practical strategies to mitigate risk and enhance practice. Participants will explore the legal implications of AI-driven diagnostics and treatment, learn sound principles for structuring collaboration agreements with healthcare ancillaries, and gain updates on Virginia-specific legislation impacting medical practice. Through case studies, expert-led discussions, and actionable guidance, this seminar equips physicians with the knowledge and tools to navigate malpractice challenges in an increasingly complex environment.

This 2-hour interactive course equips healthcare professionals with practical strategies to minimize malpractice risks in high-stakes practice and surgical environments. Participants will explore real-world scenarios involving operating room (OR) conundrums, such as unexpected intraoperative complications; managing belligerent pre-op patients who resist protocols; handling consent for patients with limited decision-making capacity; and safely administering and monitoring pain medications like opioids to prevent adverse events. Through case studies, role-playing, and evidence-based guidelines, attendees will learn to enhance documentation, communication, and decision-making to protect patients and reduce liability exposure.
