Testimonials

“The Expert Witness course is excellent – jam packed with helpful and interesting information for the ED doctor who wants a medicolegal feather in their cap. Dr. Rob Sherwin is a phenomenal teacher with real world practical experience in the legal arena. The course forum is interactive with built in time for learner questions and real case discussion. I highly recommend the course.” – Dr. Alan Lazzara, MD, FAWM, FACEP

“I recently attended the Expert Witness Course hosted by Dr. Rob Sherwin and MCEP, and I can confidently say it was the most valuable professional conference I’ve ever participated in. As someone who has been interested in the expert witness arena since my residency and who has long been involved in our departmental peer review process focused on patient safety, this course was a perfect fit for my interests. The virtual format provided maximum convenience, and the small group size allowed for meaningful interaction. Dr. Sherwin’s approach, combining practical real-life experience with comprehensive materials, made the learning process both engaging and accessible. He equips each participant with valuable resources for future reference, ensuring that we have everything we need to succeed. What truly sets this course apart is Dr. Sherwin’s commitment to his students. Not only does he invite us to reach out with real cases after the conference, but he also provides coaching nudges to keep us on track and accountable as we embark on our expert witness journeys. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in enhancing their expertise in the field. A heartfelt thank you to MCEP and Dr. Sherwin for such an enriching experience!” – Dr. Crystal Arthur, MD, FACEP
