If you have a current license as an RN, NP, or PA, and at least three years of clinical experience, the Medical Legal Consultant Certificate Program can help enhance your career. This program provides medical professionals with the specialized training necessary to expand their careers to include consulting.
Medical legal consultants are responsible for reviewing malpractice claims, analyzing the legal impact of medical decisions, conducting criminal and forensic investigations, aiding attorneys at depositions, and much more. Law firms, insurance carriers, hospitals and government agencies all have a need for such expertise.
The Medical Legal Consultant curriculum was designed and developed by experienced nurse-attorneys, attorneys and legal nurse consultants. The program offers opportunities for intellectual challenge as well as professional growth. Intensive training provides program graduates with the competitive edge they need to collaborate with attorneys and others involved in medical-legal matters.
The program offers instruction on how to establish and manage a private consulting practice, including the development of a business plan, marketing strategies and effective negotiation skills. In addition, the program offers individual and group sessions on résumé writing and interviewing techniques, and provides job search assistance to interested graduates. Students can also receive hands-on legal experience through our optional internship program.
