— Studies on differences in style of practice yield strong clues
In this video, healthcare marketing consultant Ron Harman King, MS, discusses a new analysis from the American Medical Association (AMA) that looks at the nearly one-third (31.2%) of U.S. physicians that in 2022 reported they had previously been sued.
