Emily Brinkman will present “Inside Peer Review Hearings: A Playbook for Healthcare Attorneys,” on May 3, 2026, for the California Society for Healthcare Attorneys (CSHA)’s 2026 Annual Meeting & Spring Seminar.
Healthcare organizations with more than 25 physicians must provide formal evidentiary hearings for certain disciplinary actions—a requirement that has become increasingly common since Economy v. Sutter. This session, led by a hearing officer, medical staff attorney, and physician attorney, provides a thorough discussion of peer review hearings under California Business & Professions Code §809, covering preparation, procedure, participant roles, and post-hearing processes. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of how to navigate these complex hearings with precision and confidence.
