Workshop Part II: small group role plays, discussion

We are thrilled to offer our members a day with Chris Hyman and Marc Fleisher of the Medical Mediation Group. Chris and Marc are healthcare mediators and litigators who believe that alternatives to litigation are sorely needed. Mediation can offer an efficient, economical and satisfying way to resolve disputes. After a morning of oral and video presentations, Chris and Marc will work with us in small groups, guiding us as we role play.

If you have a case you’d like Chris and Marc to review beforehand and then discuss during the workshop, email the details to Linda McLean at linda_mclean@urmc.rochester.edu.
