Michael C. Tigani, MD – OMIC Nominee to Academy’s Leadership Development Program (LDP) XVII Class of 2015
OMIC Risk Management and Underwriting Committee Member Michael C. Tigani, MD was accepted for the LDP XVII, Class of 2015. Dr. Tigani was nominated by OMIC to join a select group of twenty participants chosen from among a large group nominated by state, subspecialty and specialized interest societies. The purpose of the Leadership Development Program (LDP) is to provide both orientation and skill development to future leaders of state, subspecialty and specialized interest societies.
Nominees to the LDP must agree to develop a project that will benefit the nominating group. As a member of the OMIC Risk Management Committee, Dr. Tigani chose a project that would educate OMIC members regarding the malpractice reporting guidelines of the National Practitioner Data Bank and state Board of Medicine. With assistance from OMIC staff and Virginia defense counsel, Dr. Tigani developed an educational format (case studies) that he used at the workshop, Oh No! Who Needs to Know?, presented at the 2015 Virginia Society of Eye Physicians and Surgeons (VSEPS) Annual Meeting. The subject matter and format of the presentation were well received. About 60 ophthalmologists attended the workshop. Attendees who subsequently responded to a VSEPS survey found the flow chart and handout material to be very useful.
Dr. Tigani is pleased to share the slides and handout material from the VSEPS workshop as well as a PIAA article related to the interplay between state board actions and medical professional liability (MPL).
