Opportunity knocks

Dear AALNC Members,

I am a big believer in seizing opportunities that present themselves. 

In less than 6 weeks, Legal Nurse Consultants will have an amazing opportunity to network with hundreds of other LNCs and other industry professionals and to learn about a variety of topics that are pertinent to our specialty practice of nursing.

 

 

This opportunity only comes once per year; will you seize it?  The 2015 Forum Committee has done a tremendous job of developing an educational itinerary to meet the needs of AALNC’s diverse members.  This year, the speakers include attorneys, a physician, pharmacists, nurse life care planners, an insurance executive, and many board-certified LNCCs^®.  Whether you are a new LNC eager to learn about this specialty practice and obtain your first case or an experienced LNC seeking to recertify your LNCC^® board certification or looking for subcontractors, AALNC’s annual Forum has something for everyone.  There are occasions every day to network with other LNCs and the speakers and to walk away with new knowledge to assist you in your practice.

Opportunity knocks.  Will you answer?

I look forward to seeing you there!

Warmly,

Julie Dickinson

President, AALNC

New Online LNC Course

Dear AALNC Members,

AALNC is proud to reveal the first seven modules of the new online LNC course!  

 

 

Much can be learned from the experienced and renowned authors and editors of these modules, most of whom are board-certified LNCCs and leaders in our specialty practice and association.  

The first seven modules cover the following topics:

1. Introduction to Legal Nurse Consulting
2. Legal Fundamentals
3. Interacting with Plaintiff/Defense Clients
4. Medical Records Identification, Access, and Analysis
5. Researching Medical Information and Literature
6. Communication and Report Writing
7. Identification, Evaluation, and Collaboration with Expert Witnesses

The new course offers the following features:  

• Shorter modules for increased convenience and information retention
• Professional narration with option to read the narrative (akin to closed-captioning)
• 24/7 access to fit your busy schedule and individual learning pace
• Ability to pause the lecture and return to previous content, if desired
• Interactive, hands-on learning and activities to develop requisite legal nurse consulting skills while earning CEs
• Tremendous value for the price

The overhaul of the online course is a 3⁺ year project, and the second phase modules are expected to roll-out later this year.  For more information, please click here.  

Have you checked out the new online course yet?  What did you think?

Warmly,
