The Power of Perspective
Health-care providers are faced with clinical choices everyday that have legal implications and consequences. Yet, they are often forced to make those decisions in a vacuum. While their needs differ greatly from lawyers, they have historically been given only a legal approach to medico-legal education.

For over twenty years, ELM has provided a unified curriculum of continuing medico-legal education that stresses the role of the clinician in risk management and loss prevention.

Focusing on the health-care provider, we are teaching them to recognize when legal risk is present, what factors may cause risk exposure and how to prevent them. Case Studies portraying specific clinical scenarios illustrate whether professional conduct is legally acceptable and assist in clinical decision-making, without expecting that they be lawyers.
