Sorry Works! has long been known for outstanding advocacy and training.  We are also a research organization, and as a 501c3 non-profit we are able to accept grants and donations.  Sorry Works! is asking important questions about disclosure and apology and helping advance knowledge in our field.

Below is a list of past research and scholarly publications.   Upcoming research projects include additional/deeper work on how disclosure & apology is taught in medical schools as well as nursing schools, deeper work on disclosure cases are handled by state medical boards, and a comprehensive review of 2nd generation apology laws.
