In this post, I want to introduce Dr. Claire Muselman, a colleague I met through WorkersCompensation.com, where I write a weekly column specifically for Nurse Case Managers who specialize in Workers Compensation.  

Dr. Claire Muselman is a distinguished worker's compensation figure renowned for her expertise, innovative thinking, and relentless dedication to transforming the risk management and insurance landscape. As the founder of DCM, a highly regarded consulting firm, she brings a unique blend of passion, purpose, and energy to her work. 

Dr. Muselman has written a 10-part series on Ethics in Worker's Compensation. Ethics is a required competency for nurse case managers, so I hope you will take the time to read the series and see how you can apply the information to your practice. I have listed the first five parts of the series. I will include the following five in a future post as soon as the following five are posted. Please let me know what you think.
