This program prepares nursing professionals for careers in the legal field as legal nurse consultants. Building on your medical education and possible clinical experience, this course provides you with fundamental skills necessary to advise law firms, healthcare providers, insurance companies and governmental agencies regarding medical-related issues, and to appear in court as expert witnesses. The course teaches legal concepts related to the healthcare industry, as well as the role a legal nurse consultant might play in litigation areas such as medical malpractice, toxic torts, product liability, personal injury, wrongful death, criminal law, and workers' compensation.  The course is open to anyone interested in the field of forensic testimony and medical-legal issues, but participants without a nursing background might not be able to take the LNCC exam after graduation. Legal Nurse Consultant Certified (LNCC) is a discretionary test separate from this training course that graduates of the course who are experienced registered nurses may decide to sit for. LNCC test eligibility requirements are discussed during this training course; however, nurses graduating from this course need not take the LNCC in order to practice as legal nurse consultants.
