Professional Development That Helps Reduce Risk
For healthcare professionals, keeping up with the changes and advances in your field is a lifelong challenge. The Doctors Company offers continuing education courses for providers, dentists, nurses, practice managers, advanced practice clinicians, and other staff across a broad range of subjects.
We're uniquely positioned to spot trends early thanks to our national scope, regional experts, and data-driven insights. Our courses incorporate lessons gleaned from our careful analysis of more than 37,000 malpractice claims in a wide variety of specialties and circumstances. We not only share the analysis but also integrate our claims data, actual cases, and risk reduction strategies into the curriculum.
Our patient safety risk managers can provide customized on-site courses to address a specific issue or challenge that you’re facing in your practice or group. We can also provide live, online education so you can learn with colleagues. Lastly, our on-demand courses are available for members who prefer the convenience of taking courses online and receiving certificates immediately upon completion.
Timely Topics That Help Reduce Risk
Our courses include timely topics geared toward helping your practice team understand emerging risks and learn how to mitigate them. Courses in subjects such as cybersecurity, medical error prevention, and HIPAA compliance alert you and your staff to potential liabilities. Other courses focus on specialty areas of practice and offer recommendations to improve patient safety and quality of care.
