Engaging with Medical Legal Expert, Dr. Stephen Cohen
In this episode...
Dr. Stephen Cohen is the Section Chief of General Surgery at the Veteran’s Administration and Associate Professor of Surgery at VCU Health. He is a consulting expert with over three decades of experience and a board-certified surgeon. Dr. Cohen holds an MD from UCLA and an MBA from Walden University.
While advances like telepresence (Zoom) have made expert witnessing more convenient, technology is not always a boon for experts.

This has led to a situation where professional nurse consultants are hired to weed through records, passing along only what is useful.
