Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) & Litigation: Starting the Conversation
with Anthony Abeln, Dr. Gita Pensa
Physician assistants (PAs), nurse practitioners (NPs), certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs), certified nurse midwives (CNMs), and other non-physician clinicians increasingly face malpractice litigation -- sometimes along with a physician...and sometimes not.
And, although it barely seems possible, APPs usually have had even less education about litigation than physicians.
This episode starts with the story of a PA who won at trial, describing the experience in her own words.
