Gaining Community Trust Facilitates Evidence Based Treatments for Chronic Kidney Disease
September 9, 2025 | 7:00PM - 8:00PM CST
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) disproportionately impacts under-resourced and minoritized communities, with stark income and ethnic disparities in the U.S. Because CKD develops silently over decades and often isn't diagnosed until late stages, effective prevention requires studying early-stage CKD in high-risk, asymptomatic individuals. Building trust within these communities—who often have justified mistrust of healthcare systems—is essential for successful research and intervention efforts.

Physician Non-Competes: What's Changed This Year?
October 23rd, 2025 | 6:30PM - 7:30PM CDT
Learn about the brand new changes to the Texas Physician’s Non-Compete Statute (effective September 1). Karin will discuss the pro-physician reasons behind these important changes and how they may affect your non-compete. This discussion will also cover other restrictive covenants as these can also substantially limit a physician’s ability to practice medicine when they join, depart, or otherwise make transitions to or from a practice or hospital.

This session will also discuss how those on peer review committees can understand and best evaluate allegations of disruptive behavior, with good faith and collegiality.

Karen will explain the legal terminology and language typically used as well as set for practical realities and best practices for physicians. If you are on the medical staff of any hospital or health care facility, don’t miss this session.
Understanding Insurance
March 26th, 2026 | 6:30PM - 7:30PM CDT
Explore various types of insurance important to practicing physicians. Key
insurance concepts, such as “occurrence” versus “claims-made” malpractice policies and “tail” insurance will be discussed on a practical basis. Understanding these important insurance concepts is a “must” for physicians!
Protecting Your Professional Record
April 23rd, 2026 | 6:30PM - 7:30PM CDT
Focus on credentialing, National Practitioner’s Databank, and self-reporting. Karen will also update you on Texas HB 1998, which created new physician reporting requirements passed as a result of the “Dr. Death” case.
