Since many legal industry professionals do not understand medical terminology or know how to read medical records, legal nurse consultants (LNCs) serve to bridge the gap between the medical and legal industries. Legal nurse consultants are registered nurses who offer medical information to legal entities and professionals about medical-related cases. Expert advice may constitute identifying standards of care, reviewing medical records or preparing reports and summaries about injuries or illnesses.
After completion of the degree the graduates may enter a range of occupations including Legal nurse, Nurse Coordinator etc.
