Key Takeaways

  • Protect your practice. Learn documentation discipline, verbal consent, safe prescribing, and how to handle angry attendants without risking legal fallout.
  • Lead like a family physician. Coordinate referrals, guide families, and build a clinic culture based on clarity, ethics and follow up.
