MICHAEL TAROMINA, ESQ.
July 13, 2008 (9:00am-1:00pm)
TOPIC: Ethics in Acupuncture

This course delivers a detailed overview of AOM professional ethics, liability and risk by examining real cases. In the sensitive field of health care, a misconduct complaint or lawsuit is not always a result of a practitioner's bad behavior or judgment. Experienced and careful practitioners routinely find themselves facing the prospect of damaging professional disciplinary actions or litigation because they failed to utilize effective risk management strategies. This course will provide practitioners with effective risk management strategies.

Topics covered will include:

Overview and emerging trends of risk for alternative health care providers

Avoiding common ethical pitfalls for well-intentioned practitioners

The correlation between NCCAOM and state misconduct complaints

The relationship between litigation and ethical complaints

In-depth analysis of real cases
