About the course
This session provides a clear foundation in the essentials of medical malpractice law, tailored for medical professionals serving as expert witnesses. Learners will explore what legally constitutes malpractice, focusing on the distinction between adverse outcomes and breaches of duty. The module introduces the four key elements of malpractice claims, the “Four D’s” (Duty, Breach, Causation, and Damages), and shows how each must be supported by evidence. Through real-world examples and case discussions, participants will learn how to connect medical standards with legal principles, avoid common pitfalls in causation analysis, and frame opinions that are both clinically accurate and legally defensible. The session also clarifies the expert witness’s role: not as an advocate, but as an objective translator of complex medical facts into clear, reliable testimony.
About Your Creator
Hello, I’m Tracy Liberatore, Esq, PA, the creator of this course. With over two decades of experience as a Physician Assistant and a legal career built on graduating valedictorian of my law school class, I bring a unique perspective at the intersection of medicine and law. I founded Med Legal Pro LLC to bridge the gap between clinical practice and legal requirements, helping medical professionals write reports that are not only clinically accurate but also legally defensible. My career spans specialties including ENT, Head and Neck Surgery, Hematology-Oncology, Psychiatry, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (Physiatry), and Urgent Care, along with extensive experience in medical-legal consulting. This course was designed to give you practical, courtroom-ready skills in expert report writing and testimony preparation. My goal is straightforward: to help you convey your expertise with clarity, confidence, and credibility—both in writing and in court.
