Anesthesiology Grand Rounds: Reporting of doctors to a national medical board: who why and the outcomes-an Australian Perspective

Richard Riley leads the next session of the Anesthesiology Grand Rounds on Thursday, October 22, at 5 PM. The talk is titled Reporting of doctors to a national medical board: who why and the outcomes—an Australian Perspective, and it takes a look at the process of reporting physicians to a national medical board from an Australian point of view.

If you're in the medical field, the topic is one that usually stays behind closed doors. Riley will walk through who ends up getting reported, the reasons why those reports happen, and what the outcomes actually look like. It's a look at the regulatory side of the profession—the part that deals with complaints, board reviews, and the consequences that follow—and he's framing it through the Australian system, which gives you a chance to see how another country handles the same professional pressures we deal with here.

The session is part of the Anesthesiology Grand Rounds series run by the Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh. It's a virtual event, so you can tune in from wherever you are rather than heading to a specific room. For those who attend, CME credit is available, which is a nice bonus if you're keeping up with your requirements.

It starts at 5 PM on Thursday, October 22, and since it's streamed, you can join from home or the office. If you're interested in the intersection of medical practice and professional regulation, this is a good one to catch.
