Malpractice Class

Getting a group of doctors into a room with members of a legal profession is not what you'd call a common occurrence. But the University of Richmond School of Law wants to change that. The school is offering a medical malpractice law and litigation course for its law students and local practicing physicians who can earn continuing medical education credits. It's the first law school course of its kind, and something many law schools are considering in order to bring lawyers and doctors together.

The purpose of the course is to examine the intersection of law and medicine in medical malpractice litigation, said Sean Byrne, an instructor at the school who teaches the course. 'Lawyers and physicians have a disconnect in the way they view medical malpractice issues,' he said. 'The course gives health care professionals insight in the way the law governs their practice, and starts to get them thinking like lawyers a little bit.'
