Robyn B. Miller, Ph.D.

Monday February 5th  12:00 pm - 1:30 pm

1.5 CE Credits

Online via Zoom

A Professional Will is so much more than an administrative duty. This workshop aims to educate participants on the clinical, business, and practical issues which must be considered in drafting a professional will and naming a Practice Executor. Training is also provided on how to fulfill this role for another. Compassionate and ethical transfer of care for patients is outlined. The speaker's first hand experiences of grief and responsibility will be used to consider the ways in which a colleague's incapacitation and the duty to the colleague and to her patients may impact the Executor role. Stages of necessary action are outlined.

 After attending this workshop, attendees will be able to 

  • List the clinical, business, and practical duties of a practice executor
  • Consider your wishes for your patients in the event of your own incapacitation, and be prepared to choose a Practice Executor and draft a professional will.
  • Identify the ways the Practice Executor may be personally impacted by this role.
