Description of CME Course
Nearly one in three physicians will face a malpractice lawsuit during their career, yet the emotional burden is rarely talked about. In this episode, host Kevin Hopkins, MD, speaks with Ami Shah, MD, and Eve Poczatek, MBA, SPHR, from Rush University System for Health about the culture of silence surrounding litigation, and the lasting psychological and physical toll it takes on physicians. They share how Rush has built a proactive support model that includes early institutional outreach, peer support, and financial protection during trial, ensuring no physician has to carry that weight alone.
