As the house of medicine evolves, it is extremely important to understand all aspects of the law and potential legal issues that could affect you and/or your medical practices.

Our panelists include Karin Zaner, with Zaner Law, who specializes in peer review, credentialing, HIPAA, NPDB, and licensing issues while creating practical pathways to the resolution of the myriad business, legal, and ethical issues that arise in the challenging practice of medicine today. And Diane Shaw, with Shaw and Associates, who specializes in medical malpractice defense focusing on HIPAA compliance, regulatory audits, Texas Medical Board complaints, and peer review.
