The first professional contact for people who experience relationship violence is likely to be a physician or other health-care provider. Studies report that abused women seek medical attention more frequently than non-abused women, even if they tend to hide that they are being harmed. Using a process of validation, safety assessment, and referral, a physician may be able to help a victim improve his/her situation. This activity has been approved for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™.

Sexual-Abuse Claims Against Medical Providers: A Malpractice Defense Attorney's Perspective
Suited for MDs, nurses, MAs, and other clinical staff
Physical touch is not only essential to medical care, it humanizes the physician-patient relationship. It is also an aspect of care that is ripe for misunderstanding and misperception. Abuse can easily happen under the guise of therapeutic touch. Indeed, allegations of sexual misconduct are on the rise. This one-hour presentation by defense attorney Peter Eidenburg will discuss best practices to prevent allegations of sexual wrongdoing and what to do if a patient makes a complaint. Peter will bring his insights from the courtroom to help you better understand how these situations arise, how plaintiff attorneys build cases, and the unique challenges to litigating sexual misconduct claims. You will not want to miss this opportunity to empower both yourself and your patients through better awareness of these issues. This activity has been approved for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™.
