The Industrial Commission and the International Workers' Compensation Foundation are jointly sponsoring the Sixth Annual Workers' Compensation Educational Conference on August 14-16, 2001. The goal of this conference is to educate those who participate in the North Carolina workers' compensation system regarding current rules, procedures, policies and forms and to provide an opportunity for dialogue among these participants. The presenters are Commissioners, Deputy Commissioners, and Section Heads of the Industrial Commission; plaintiff's and defense attorneys; physicians; chiropractors; physical therapists; insurance adjusters; medical and vocational rehabilitation specialists; and mediators.
Breakout sessions will be utilized to discuss certain topics in specific detail for a more specialized view, whereas other topics will be presented from a more general perspective.
All employers, insurance adjusters, self-insurers, third party administrators, safety and human resource managers, plaintiff's and defense attorneys, health care providers, mediators, and medical and vocational rehabilitation providers are encouraged to attend. In fact, anyone interested in the workers' compensation system in North Carolina will receive valuable information at the conference.
The N.C. Bar has approved 12 hours of general CLE credit for for conference attendance, but none of these hours qualify as ethics hours or practical skills hours. Participants also may be eligible for continuing education (CE) credits for conference attendance. Application has been made for credits in the following occupations: adjusters (12 CE hours), attorneys (12 CLE hours), carriers (CE Credit), nurses (14.4 CE hours) and rehabilitation providers (13 CEU for CRC, CDMS, CCM). Every effort will be made to have forms available at the completion of the conference.
