How to Start, Build, and Run a Successful Medical Expert Witness Practice 2023

How to Start, Build, and Run a Successful Medical Expert Witness Practice 2023 is organized by SEAK, Inc. and will be held from Feb 02 - 03, 2023 at Sandpearl Resort, in Clearwater Beach, Florida, United States of America.

Description:
This is SEAK’s most popular expert witness training program. Learn the step-by-step process for obtaining expert witness assignments and excelling at them. Expert witnessing is interesting work that allows physicians the opportunity to teach and explain their field to judges, jurors, and lawyers. What is learned while analyzing cases as an expert often helps physicians perform better in their clinical roles. Physicians are commonly compensated for their time at $500 or more per hour. Trials are typically rare (most cases settle or are dismissed before trial) and most of the work consists of research, analysis, and report writing — which can be done from home. 

How to Start, Build, and Run a Successful Expert Witness Practice is appropriate for physicians of all specialties and with all levels of expert witness experience including both highly experienced and novice experts.
