Tanner, Esq. will address medical malpractice litigation at The Children's Hospital of Pennsylvania continuing medical education program, "Medical Legal Issues Facing the CHOP Practitioner."

Tanner will present from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
"I am pleased to participate in a program that will ultimately enhance patient safety," said Tanner. "It is always helpful for physicians to gain insight into avoiding errors or other incidents that may lead to lawsuits. I am honored to be asked to assist CHOP physicians in this manner."
Offering a plaintiff's perspective on medical malpractice, Tanner will describe how plaintiffs and personal injury attorneys develop a case, what leads plaintiffs to file medical malpractice lawsuits and how lawyers value medical malpractice claims. Tanner will also answer questions from the audience.
