Legal Nurse Consulting
The Legal Nurse Consulting Certificate program provides students with the legal knowledge required to evaluate the delivery or utilization of health care services in a systematic way and to articulate informed opinions about resulting outcomes. Students will be prepared to critically analyze complex medical-legal cases through a theoretical and practical curriculum of study, which results in an understanding of the complex legal relationships inherent in health care services delivery on multiple levels. The program provides knowledge and applications of substantive and procedural law, medical-legal research, medical-legal ethics and medical-legal analytical writing.
