Every day, healthcare providers encounter and grapple with an array of legal and regulatory challenges. The ability to recognize these and have the requisite skills to effectively and competently deal with these, has never been more important. Missteps can have costly implications for all, including your professional reputation. The Osgoode Certificate in Health Law was developed for healthcare professionals and those who advise them. Over five comprehensive, practical one-day modules, which include lectures, case studies, small group discussions, live simulations and demonstrations, you will learn what you need to know about contemporary issues in health law from a diverse faculty of lawyers, health care professionals, patients’ rights advocates, ethicists, risk managers, and insurance industry experts.
