. This website has a dropdown menu for all licensed medical professionals in the state of Florida. If you live outside of the state of Florida, your state should have a system that is similar. The case that you select must come from a state licensing board. In a paper of 600 – 800 words, select a case that has been previously ruled upon. You can select any profession that is licensed in the state in which you reside. In addition to your textbook, your paper must include a minimum of three sources, one of which will be the website from which you retrieved the case. Make sure that your paper includes: • How is licensure related to liability? • What does it mean to be a licensed health care provider? • What is liability and why was the provider in this case liable for their actions – what did they do (or not do) to have this case brought against them? • How is malpractice insurance related to this situation? • What is needed to have a valid malpractice claim? • Did the case you selected involve criminal law or civil (tort) law? • What was the resolution of this case and how could this resolution affect providers in the future? • What is the role of malpractice information in your professional future? Make sure that you save a copy of the case (i.e., copy and paste into Word for future reference) and bookmark the location, as you will use this same case in the future..
