Grow your presence. Work with influencers. Stay within the rules.

Hiring influencers for your clinic or your brand. Collaborating with influencers: collab posts, lives, podcasts, workshops and recording a course on someone else’s platform. When you are the influencer: brand messages, gifting, affiliate codes, agencies and sponsors. And running it as a system, with a plan for the first 48 hours if something goes wrong.
The template pack is included: five agreements written for doctors, an influencer engagement agreement, a content collaboration agreement, collab and guest appearance terms, a talent manager and agency rider, and a public collaboration policy, every clause explained.

The four forums, the standard of care, records, consent and the first seventy two hours.
Eight short modules, about twelve minutes each. The four forums a doctor can be called before and how they differ. The standard of care. The consumer route. Where the criminal law sits and what protects a registered practitioner. Records. Consent. The first seventy two hours after something goes wrong. Indemnity, and what your policy does not cover.
Read module one first, without paying, then decide. The full course is one payment, Rs. 2,499: twelve months of access, ten scored quizzes in all, a certificate anyone can verify, and a document you can use out of every module.
What your premises must register, and what you may post.
Eight modules on the two subjects where what doctors are told is most often wrong. The premises you run: what you actually have to register and what you do not, biomedical waste for a clinic with no beds, the medicines you keep and the two records the exemption really requires, and the staff statutes that bite at any headcount. The things you publish: the one regulation that decides every post, what an advertisement can cost when no patient was harmed, the Act you have never read and the exemption you have misread, and the patients in your feed. A free bonus module on brand deals and the influencer rules.
Read module one first, without paying, then decide. One payment, Rs. 3,499: twelve months of access, ten scored quizzes, thirty printable sheets, and its own certificate. It assumes the ground Medicolegal Essentials covers and says so, but neither course is a prerequisite for the other.
Who may inject, photographs, consent, products, lasers and refunds.
Eight modules for the cosmetic practice, the specialty a Council, a consumer commission and a regulator each notice first. Who may inject and what "cosmetologist" means in law (nothing). What a before-and-after photograph may say. Consent for a procedure nobody needed. Toxin, fillers and peels: drug, cosmetic or Class D implant, and what CDSCO said on 18 May 2026. Lasers and who licenses them (nobody). What a commission has actually awarded for, and never for. Packages, prepayment and the promise you did not mean to make. Her face is the product. And a free bonus on the company, the chain and the doctor who answers.
Read module one first, without paying, then decide. One payment, Rs. 6,999: twelve months of access, ten scored quizzes, forty printable sheets, and its own certificate.
For residents: calls, notes, handovers, consent, night duty and complaints.
Eight modules for resident doctors, each ending with a pocket card to save on your phone. Where a resident stands in law. Calling the consultant, and writing the call down. Notes, orders and handovers. Unsafe tasks, fatigue, and the senior who does not come. Consent at the resident’s level. Night duty: medico-legal cases, the police and violence on the ward. WhatsApp groups and patient photographs. Named in a complaint: the first 24 hours, and your indemnity. A free bonus module puts all eight cards in one place.
Read module one first, without paying, then decide. One payment, Rs. 4,999: twelve months of access, ten scored quizzes, eight pocket cards, and its own certificate. General education, not advice on any live matter.
For aesthetic and dermatology clinics: consent, photographs and patient data, with the working documents.
Eight case-study modules that follow one fictional clinic as it gets consent, photographs and patient data wrong and puts them right. The standard a consent is held to. The consultation, and the patient you should not treat yet. Consent sets, procedure by procedure. Photographs: taking, storing and owning them. Publishing a face after the NMC Guidelines of 6 October 2026. Patient data under the SPDI Rules now and the DPDP Act from 13 May 2027. When the consent is tested. Building it into the clinic.

Reading a hospital file and using medical evidence, from both sides.
Short courses that teach lawyers to read a hospital file and use medical evidence, from both sides. Module one of each is free to read, with no card.
Certificate Course in Medicine and Law for Advocates and Legal Professionals. For practice: the hospital file, the standard of care, complaints against doctors, and medicine in criminal, motor accident, insurance and succession cases. One payment, Rs. 4,999. Read module one first, without paying
Certificate Course in Medicine and Law for Law Students. For exams, moots and judicial service: the hospital file, injuries, the post mortem, the dying declaration, sexual offences, age and DNA. One payment, Rs. 1,499. Read module one first, without paying
Written by Dr. Rupal V. Rana, MBBS, DCH, LLB, LLM, a medical practitioner qualified in law, in consultation with a High Court advocate. She is not an enrolled advocate. This course teaches the medicine a lawyer meets and the law that governs medical evidence; it is not legal advice and it does not teach courtroom advocacy.
Each certificate records completion of a private course. It is not a degree, diploma or recognised qualification, it is not approved by the Bar Council of India, any State Bar Council or the UGC, and it carries no continuing legal education credit.
Practitioner Core. Ten modules for every specialty. Defensible records. Consent architecture. Answering a legal notice. How a consumer commission actually runs. Police requests, medicolegal cases and post mortem requisitions. Council complaints. Liability for your staff and your locum. Clinical establishment readiness. Telemedicine and data protection. The advertising rules, which catch more good doctors than anything else on this list.
Specialty tracks. Six to eight modules built for one specialty and nobody else. Obstetrics and gynaecology, homoeopathy and AYUSH, and assisted reproduction; the aesthetic and dermatology track and the dental track are open above. The waitlist decides which one is built first, so tell us yours below.
Clinic and hospital workshops. On site, for a whole team, built around your own consent forms, your own records and your own signage rather than a generic deck.
Said plainly: completed courses carry a certificate of completion. That is not a diploma, it is not a certification, it is not recognised by any Council or Bar body, and it does not by itself carry CME credit. Anything that does carry CME credit will say so, and will say through which accredited host.

Medicolegal Consultant and Founder, DoctorLawyer™
A medical practitioner qualified in law, advising doctors and clinics on medicolegal risk.
A medical practitioner who is also qualified in law, advising doctors, clinics and founder run healthcare businesses on medicolegal risk, documentation and regulatory compliance. She writes and speaks on consent, records, telemedicine and certification, and built this curriculum out of the questions doctors actually arrive with.
Teaching material is prepared to the same standard as the practice's written work, and reviewed before it is published.
Workshops and talks: where she has spoken, and the workshops coming next.
Tell us your specialty and we will write when its track opens. Free, and no registration number.
Free to join. Eleven certificate courses are open now. The waitlist tells you when each further specialty track opens, and it decides which one is built first. We do not ask for your registration number or any identity number.
This is education, not advice on your matter. Nothing taught here is advice about any particular patient, complaint, notice or case of yours, and watching it does not create a relationship of adviser and client between us.
It is not clinical teaching. No module tells you how to treat anybody. Clinical judgment remains entirely yours.
Nothing is promised as an outcome. No course prevents a complaint and none of this guarantees how any forum will decide anything.
Where a matter needs a lawyer, we say so. Representation before a court, a commission or a Council, and any formal legal opinion, is arranged separately with a High Court advocate and is charged separately. It is not part of any course.
We ask for very little. No registration number, no identity number, no account number and no fee or income information, on this form or in any course.
