LifeGuard offers a comprehensive two-day program led by Penn Medicine faculty, that

sessions for remediation when prescribing practices are called into question. We will
assess your personal prescribing habits through chart review and provide strategies
for improvement in documentation. Sessions include an overview of CDC and state
guidelines. The program includes case-based discussions completed in a small group
format, combined with skills training through the use of standardized patients.
