• Surviving a Deposition
  by Warren T. Jahn, DC ($35, includes audio)

Many doctors of chiropractic are learning that the medicolegal aspects of practice are becoming more important. This is especially true when they relate to scope of practice, patient care within the confines of managed care, protecting against allegations of negligence, and how to defend themselves in court.

Dr. Jahn is board certified and a recognized expert on forensics training for DCs. His presentation will lift the "veil of secrecy" from the deposition experience, making it less stressful. Dr. Jahn's method is to teach you the opposing attorney's perspective at each step of the process, including the attorney's questioning tactics. You'll find out:

• How to prepare

• How to document

• How to answer the "tricky" questions

• And how to conduct yourself before and during the interview
