Description
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, physicians are facing
unprecedented challenges both in and outside of their practices. Some
physicians may be asked to expand their scope of practice outside of their
specialties to provide care for patients who have contracted COVID-19. Does
this open up a physician to increased civil liability? What protections are
available for physicians who are treating patients during a pandemic?
Gordon Ownby,
General Counsel, CAP, and Michael Lamb, Managing Attorney, Schmid & Voiles,
will discuss these critical issues and more during CAP’s next free webinar. The discussion will
be followed by audience Q&A. CAP members are invited to submit their
questions in advance of the webinar at communications@CAPphysicians.com.
