Description of CME Course
Pediatricians see patients across the age continuum from neonate to young adult and address a wide range of developmental and disease processes. As the patient matures, the pediatric goals gradually transition from counseling and seeking only parental or guardian consent to facilitating the patient’s passage to an informed healthcare consumer who accepts personal responsibility for their own care. When it comes to medical professional liability claims or lawsuits, pediatricians have some rather unique considerations. Three case studies are used in this activity to illustrate some of the malpractice risks pediatricians face.
