This live audio conference will help you make decisions when requesting and evaluating risk and fitness for duty evaluations. You will hear a discussion of common reasons to refer an employee for a FFDE, information initially needed by the evaluating doctor and how to write appropriate questions for the psychologist or psychiatrist to answer. You will also learn about evaluating doctors’ credentials, experience and forensic experience, as well as the important differences between evaluations completed for forensic (as opposed to treatment) purposes. Our experienced professional will present a thorough examination protocol that will include an extended clinical interview, objective psychological testing and important collateral interviews. You will also learn about the limitations in psychologists’ and psychiatrists’ ability to predict employee dangerousness, as well as issues regarding the confidentiality of FFDE results.
