On April 22, Assistant Professor Neeraja Murali, DO, MPH, alongside Chief Resident and Risk Management Fellow Lucy Martin, MD, led a Journal Court session for the University of Maryland School of Medicine’s medical students.

The session, held at the University of Maryland-Baltimore’s Francis King Carey School of Law, featured a medical malpractice mock trial, with medical students serving as key witnesses, attorneys, and jury members. 

The goal of the exercise was to introduce students to the complexities of medical malpractice, which affects, on average, three out of every four physicians in their careers.
