Learning outcomes

Learn legal concepts related to the healthcare industry and the role a legal nurse consultant might play in litigation areas such as medical malpractice, toxic torts, product liability, personal injury, wrongful death, criminal law, and workers’ compensation. This is your way to get your foot in the door in the legal field.

Legal Nurse Consultant Training is also open to anyone interested in the field of forensic testimony and medical-legal issues, but participants without a nursing background might not be able to take the Legal Nurse Consultant Certified exam after graduation. LNCC is a discretionary test for experienced registered nurses separate from the CLS by BARBRI training course. LNCC test eligibility requirements are discussed during this training course; however, nurses graduating from this course need not take the LNCC in order to practice as legal nurse consultants. 

Career outlook

A nurse can work as a Legal Nurse Consultant in a variety of capacities, either full- or part-time. Work for a law firm, as an independent contractor, in the clinical setting, or for an insurance company or hospital with the potential to increase your earnings. Learn more.
