It's great connecting with you. I'm Chris Brigham, MD
Whether you are starting your journey or seeking a new destination, I am pleased to be there with you – empowering you to “captain your ship” while navigating challenging medicolegal “seas.” As a board-certified occupational medicine physician, who entered the medicolegal field over four decades ago, I realized that there was much to learn to succeed. I look forward to sharing knowledge, skills, experiences, and insights that will contribute dramatically to your success and benefit society. I am the Editor of the AMA Guides Newsletter and Casebook and Senior Contributing Editor for the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, Sixth Edition. I have been blessed by the opportunity to be surrounded by talented colleagues, have many unique learning experiences, write over 300 peer-reviewed articles and several books, speak at hundreds of events, and consult throughout the United States and internationally. I sincerely appreciate my colleagues representing many domains and life’s “learning experiences.” I want to help you succeed and provide those injured or ill with accurate assessments. I also want this to be enjoyable for you. My involvement in virtual learning systems began five decades ago; therefore, I hope you find the learning experiences here the finest. (By the way, in assisting you to “navigate,” please be assured that I am also a licensed USCG captain.)
