Medical malpractice litigation is a prevalent challenge for emergency physicians, but there is a dearth of dedicated training in residency programs on this subject. As a result, when emergency physicians become the subject of a medical malpractice action they often find themselves ill-equipped to successfully navigate the process.
We sought to create an in-depth medical malpractice simulation encompassing all key aspects of medical practice litigation. We collaborated with a law school for a semester-long simulation of a fabricated medical malpractice case brought against an emergency medicine (EM) resident.
In harnessing the legal expertise of law students and faculty we were able to deliver a months-long medical malpractice simulation to our EM residency program. Similarly, in lending the medical expertise of our residents and faculty to the project, the law students were afforded a unique practical experience in learning to litigate medical malpractice.
The project resulted in a rich educational experience for both the EM residents and the law students. We present a guide for replication by any residency program in collaboration with a law school.
医疗事故诉讼是急诊医生面临的一个普遍挑战，但住院医师培训项目中缺乏关于这一主题的专门培训。因此，当急诊医生成为医疗事故诉讼的对象时，他们往往发现自己没有足够的能力成功应对这一过程。
我们试图创建一个涵盖医疗实践诉讼所有关键方面的深入医疗事故模拟。我们与一所法学院合作，对一起针对急诊医学住院医师的虚构医疗事故案件进行了为期一学期的模拟。
通过利用法学院学生和教师的法律专业知识，我们能够为急诊医学住院医师培训项目提供为期数月的医疗事故模拟。同样，通过将住院医师和教师的医学专业知识应用于该项目，法学院学生在学习医疗事故诉讼方面获得了独特的实践经验。
该项目为急诊医学住院医师和法学院学生都带来了丰富的教育体验。我们提供了一份指南，供任何住院医师培训项目与法学院合作进行复制。
