How to Be an Effective Medical Expert Witness 2023

How to Be an Effective Medical Expert Witness 2023 is organized by SEAK, Inc. and will be held from Feb 04 - 05, 2023 at Sandpearl Resort, Clearwater Beach, Florida, United States of America.

Description:
The way to grow an expert witness practice is to build the reputation of being an effective witness. This is a hands-on, fast-moving, interactive workshop covering deposition, direct examination, and cross-examination skills for physicians. Participating physicians will learn how to become more effective and significantly more valuable expert witnesses. Instruction will utilize four methods: lectures, questions & answers, videos of experts actually testifying in real cases, and mock trial demonstrations using student volunteers. The mock trial demonstrations are based upon a C.V. and sample report submitted in advance by attendees. Each physician will have an opportunity to practice testifying and receive constructive feedback as to how to improve their performance. In addition, each attendee will be provided with a content-rich seminar manual. This course, which is especially for physicians, will only be offered once in 2023.

Objectives Topics:
At the conclusion of this workshop, physicians should be able to:
• Discuss the strategies and goals of opposing counsel at deposition and during cross-examination
