Risk Management and CME Support
From consultations, to CME, to practice reviews, our resources help you enhance safety and reduce risk.

The help you need from our risk management experts
Medical liability lawsuits are rarely the result of one error, but rather a cascade or system of factors that lead to multiple errors. Additionally, patients often cite interpersonal aspects of care, such as poor communication or feeling rushed, as central to their decision to initiate a lawsuit. Having an understanding of these factors may help you avoid litigation — or a medical board action — and enhance patient safety.
TMLT provides a comprehensive, customized approach to help you reduce risk.
Consultations
Our risk management experts are here to help. Whether you have a quick question or need guidance on a more complex issue, we offer free and confidential consultations to TMLT policyholders.

Practice Reviews
Our Risk Management Department conducts practice reviews to determine risk exposures in your practice. Reviews are free to all policyholders and can be completed without disrupting your patient appointments or business operations.
During a practice review, a TMLT risk management professional will:
- conduct a medical record review and practice evaluation;
- meet with physicians and staff to discuss findings;
- offer customized, specialty-specific recommendations.
Risk Management CME
TMLT offers a variety of continuing medical education (CME) courses designed to help policyholders meet licensing requirements while enhancing their practice’s risk management strategies. These courses are specifically designed to address key areas of risk in medical practice, with topics ranging from patient safety to legal and regulatory updates.
By completing these CME courses, physicians can gain valuable insights and strategies to reduce liability and improve patient care. TMLT’s CME offerings are available online, allowing you to earn credits at your convenience while staying informed about best practices in risk management.
