Risk Management Training and Events

Reduced liability.

CAP is committed to continually educating members on best practices to promote patient safety, reduce medical liability, and foster positive physician-patient relationships. Physician members and their staff can take advantage of myriad trainings and events that are led by experienced CAP Risk Management and Patient Safety Specialists – most of whom are RNs or JDs – or both.

Training and Events

CME Risk Management Program

Take Aim at Risk, CAP's flagship risk management course, was developed by CAP's risk management experts to help physicians prevent patient injury and reduce malpractice claims. It is comprised of seven modules focusing on critical risk management topics and offers 2.5 hours of CME credit. The program explores the main factors that lead to medical errors, such as communication breakdowns and medication mismanagement. It also provides guidance on other critical malpractice topics including apologies, informed consent, documentation, and much more.

CAP is accredited by the California Medical Association (CMA) to provide continuing medical education for physicians. CAP designates a maximum of two and a half hours of AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™ for this program.

If you would like to enroll in this program, please contact Alicia Alexander at 213-576-8503 or at aalexander@CAPphysicians.com.
