Live Webinar
Description:
Elimination
of Bias CLE credit APPROVED!
Featured
speaker Dr. Stephen Delisi, Medical Director at the Hazelden Betty Ford
Foundation, will examine the neurobiology and neuroscience of addiction and
trauma and explain why people who suffer with addiction continue to make the
“choices” they make and how these are often not “choices” at all. Participants
will learn that what is commonly called “relapse” (a return to use) is really a
recurrence of symptoms of a chronic disease, and not a moral failing. This
understanding offers attorneys who represent health professionals with substance
use disorder a new and more accurate perspective in situations that can be
challenging, by helping them to acknowledge and overcome their own biases
regarding the disability of addiction.
Presenter Laura Nelson,
Partner at Stinson LLP, will discuss integrating this understanding of addiction
into legal representation of health care practitioners facing adverse
professional and licensing actions in connection with a substance use disorder
and health care facilities seeking to address these issues in their
workforce.
