Join CAP for a free lunch-hour webinar that will cover the essentials of informed consent to help you reduce the chances of a medical liability lawsuit, while effectively and respectfully communicating must-know information to your patients.
Presented by Randall W. Porter, MD, a neurosurgeon with Barrow Neurosurgical Associates and founder of Medical Memory, “Informed Consent: Engaging Your Patients, Protecting Yourself,” will take place on Friday, March 9 from noon to 1:00 p.m. PST and touch on the following topics:
