Arbitrating a Healthcare Dispute is a one-day training session in which participants review the practical elements of alternative dispute resolution through an in-depth examination of arbitration. This training describes:
- The process of an arbitration from case intake to award
- Current applicable arbitration law
- The legal and ethical issues in arbitration
- The challenges that AHLA arbitrators typically confront, including due process protocols, economic and billing issues, establishing terms of reference, and navigating challenges to the arbitral award
