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.

For doctors who consult by video, audio or text, or prescribe for online pharmacies.
Eight modules on the law in India, as we read it: whether a call should be a teleconsultation at all, and when to stop; who is on the call, identity and consent; the prescription at a distance; prescribing for an online pharmacy; the record, recordings and AI scribes; patient data now and from 13 May 2027; working with or for a platform; and patients or doctors outside India. A bonus module gives the basics, a binder with a one-page decision flow and a quarterly self-audit, a reading order for your practice, seven worked cases and a short briefing on the NMC Guidelines 2026. It teaches the law, not clinical medicine.
Read the indemnity wording you renew every year: what it answers, and what it does not.
Eight modules on the law in India, as we read it: what you signed and who it covers; when it answers, how much, and what you must do; whose policy, and how much; the proposal form, and comparing wordings; changing insurer without a gap; retiring, pausing or practising from abroad; when a claim arrives; and when a claim is refused. A bonus module covers your clinic, your staff and your patients’ data, with fifteen practice questions on one case. It does not review your policy or tell you which one to choose.
Also for hospitals and clinics
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.

For aesthetic and dermatology clinics: consent, photographs and patient data, with the working documents.

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. Demonstration templates, printed in full, with every module, and a free bonus module on patients from abroad.

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.

English · हिन्दी · मराठी · தமிழ் · తెలుగు · മലയാളം · ಕನ್ನಡ · seats for a team
For your front desk, nurses, OT, ward, lab and security staff. Eight short lessons in plain language: writing and correcting an entry, where their job ends on consent, photos and WhatsApp, dignity and bills, the first hour of an emergency or a police case, falls and mistakes, and angry families. Each lesson is built around a real-life situation staff face in clinics and hospitals, with simple do and never rules, one line to remember and a quiz, with the law behind it set out for the supervisor.

What the data protection law asks of a clinic or small hospital, now and from 13 May 2027.
Eight case-study modules that follow one fictional clinic, and the care home it grows into, as it gets its patients’ data wrong and puts it right. The three dates and what each switches on. The notice and the consent at the desk. Children, newborns and patients who cannot consent. Records software, laboratories, booking apps and AI tools. Security, retention and erasure. A breach, from the first hour to the 72-hour report the Rules ask for from 13 May 2027. Patients’ rights and the grievance desk. Staff, visiting consultants and cameras in a nursing home.

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.

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 medical certificates, 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. We will write when its track opens.
Free to join. Twenty 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.
