Course Content (Syllabus)
Negligence and Error in Medical Practice. In any organized society, human relationships and transactions often entail harmful consequences that may arise from acts or omissions in the course of any professional activity, which, depending on the circumstances, can establish the potential liability of the professional, in our case, the physician. In such cases, the patient suffers 'damage' due to medical errors resulting from demonstrated 'negligence' on the part of the healthcare provider. However, complications can also occur, documented by various scientific organizations and communities for each medical specialty. In this section, we will discuss Complications - Medical Errors - Medical Negligence by Medical Specialty, each one separately for different medical specialties, with examples of specific cases.
