"Professional Liability Insurance and Risk Management -- A Primer for Psychiatry Residents"

We, at PRMS, believe that by educating psychiatrists about the causes of malpractice claims, we can help them improve patient care and avoid many malpractice claims. Thus, we are pleased to offer a unique educational program-PREP, at no charge, to groups of psychiatry residents, especially those nearing the completion of their professional training. The program is open to residents, fellows and attending physicians.

  • PREP addresses the basics of malpractice insurance, in general, and provides an overview of practice-related risk management issues - topics which often are not formally addressed during the course of residency training. Psychiatrists who will soon be making critical decisions about their own professional liability protection need to be familiar with these concepts.
  • PREP is designed to run approximately 90 minutes; however, its format is flexible to allow for modifications to suit your time frame and audience size. It can be a stand-alone seminar or incorporated into grand rounds.

As a leader in proactive psychiatric risk management education, PRMS' goal is to prevent malpractice suits before they happen. Learning from our vast experience handling claims against psychiatrists, and calls to our risk management helpline, we have amassed a unique body of knowledge which forms the basis of our efforts to teach specific ways to lower psychiatric malpractice risk.
