Interdisciplinary Engagement to Enhance Court Testimony

Testimony may seem daunting to clinicians without proper preparation. This concern may exist with clinicians who are new to testimony or who have rarely been called to testify. Appropriate and effective preparation is a process that takes more than simply reviewing a medical chart. Whether a civil or criminal proceeding, and whether called by a prosecutor, plaintiff’s attorney, or defense attorney, the clinician is an independent and neutral medical professional. Clinicians play a valuable role in providing insight into the medical care and treatment conducted by the clinician, which is offered as evidence in the proceeding. In this webinar, legal and subject matter experts will share a newly-released resource for clinicians and attorneys that provides important information on engaging with professionals of each discipline while preparing for testimony.
