Program Description
A great opportunity exists to incorporate the special skills involved in mediation into your practice of health law. We urge you to sign up now for our Mediation Essentials Training session. Whether you will represent a client in a mediation or want to become a mediator yourself, this two-day course will provide an intensive foundation in techniques and theories of mediation as participants immerse themselves in conflict simulations, many patterned after actual disputes. The training course includes:
- Interactive lectures and demonstrations of mediation techniques
- Small group simulations designed to provide experience in mediating a wide range of disputes
- Individual critique and feedback
- The opportunity for each participant to mediate a complete dispute, with feedback
- A discussion of ethical dilemmas facing mediators
- A discussion of how to gain experience in mediating actual cases
- A training manual, which details each step of the mediation process
Attendance is limited to 24 participants on a first come, first serve basis. Sorry, we are unable to accommodate on-site registrations.
Training will be conducted by the internationally-recognized mediator, arbitrator, administrator and trainer, Jerry P. Roscoe, who consistently receives outstanding evaluations from attendees.
Each registrant will be awarded a Certificate of Completion and will be given the opportunity to sign-up as a Mediator in AHLA's ADR Service.
