Introduction to Medical Professional Liability Insurance

On-Demand, Expert-Led Instruction


Taught by subject matter experts, the Introduction to Medical Professional Liability Insurance course gives new hires and those with relatively less experience in the MPL industry a leg up in understanding the concepts critical for success. Physicians or other directors who are new to insurance governance, and employees of companies that provide goods and services to the MPL community, will also gain a better understanding of an MPL insurance organization's operations and the important functions of specific departments and disciplines.

The self-paced course guides participants through the key concepts and disciplines they will encounter while working with a medical professional liability insurance company and is designed to build understanding in the industry as a whole.
