An inside perspective to help physicians maximize their knowledge to minimize risk

Since 2004, COPIC has partnered with Colorado residency programs to offer a week-long rotation as a first-hand experience that draws upon the expertise of our staff. Each year, COPIC’s program hosts more than 170 participants and focuses on the following key areas:

• An inside look at medical incidents, medical errors, medical liability claims and the world of medical-legal practice.
• Patient safety initiatives – What they are, what are the opportunities for practice improvement and systems, and what are the barriers to implementation?
• An understanding of the difference in the epidemiology of medical practice by specialty, and the epidemiology of medical errors and medical liability claims within different specialties.
• The value of communication, early reporting and patient relationships in reducing claims and improving patient outcomes.
