Abstract:
Medical malpractice is an inevitable truth of being a practicing provider. Despite awareness of malpractice risk, education on understanding the legal landscape and protecting oneself from being named in a malpractice claim is sorely underrepresented in medical school and residency curricula. This review summarizes what is known about the legal risks to the resident in training and the attending physician supervisor. It also explores the legal landscape for physicians practicing and supervising telehealth encounters.
