REMINDER: June 16th Free Webinar: Disclosure, Apology, & State Medical Boards

The literature tells us there are many barriers to implementing disclosure, including the concern that state medical boards will view disclosing physicians as easy disciplinary targets...the proverbial low hanging fruit. Indeed, a medical malpractice insurance policy can cover a monetary claim from disclosure, but what protects a license?  It's a fair and legitimate concern that has not received adequate attention or study, including how state medical boards view this issue.

Earlier this year, Sorry Works! published a study entitled, "How will state medical boards handle cases of disclosure and apology?"   We surveyed state medical boards about disclosure and apology and received a lot of good information and feedback from various boards around the country.  

This Thursday, June 16th at 3pm ET/12 PT, we will be discussing this paper and this topic with members of the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB). Humayun "Hank" Chaundhry, DO, MACP, President of the FSMB, will be the moderator and Sorry Works! President Doug Wojcieszak will be the speaker. This webinar is free and open to anyone and we encourage Sorry Works! readers to join us for this important discussion.  Here is the registration link.  Please consider joining us, and please forward this e-newsletter to colleagues and friends.  

Sincerely,

- Doug
