An unlikely team: Law students & physicians take on mock malpractice depositions

Practice Management

In Columbus, Ohio, Capital University Law School third-year students are teaming up with OhioHealth Grant Medical Center physicians to prepare for potential malpractice cases, according to The Columbus-Dispatch.

Here are three points:

 

1. During the mock depositions, the law students are graded on how well they probe the physicians, who are participating in OhioHealth Grant Medical Center's family-medicine residency program.

 

2. Sarah Sams, MD, associate director of OhioHealth Grant Medical Center's family medicine residency program, spearheaded the mock depositions and called Capital's dean about the potential program.

 

3. While the law students previously would enact different roles during mock trails, bringing in physicians brought a realistic element to the trials. One law student said, "They add real factual knowledge. It makes our jobs a little trickier."
