This is such an important topic for practicing psychologists that this will be the only session in the morning. Dr. Georgoulakis has been consulting with the NCPA/DIPP Insurance Committee on this issue and will have very valuable information that all DIPP members should know.

Dr. Georgoulakis is also being asked to talk about electronic medical records.
