FAPI Investigative Insights Webinar- September 9, 2026, 12pm-1pm EST
Medical Terminology for Private Investigators
Are you ready to take your investigative reporting to the next level? Join us for a 45-minute professional session designed specifically for investigators working in insurance defense, workers' compensation, and personal injury.
In this session, we will bridge the gap between medical claims and physical movement, giving you the tools to transform basic observations into powerful, medically accurate documentation.
By the end of this session, you will be able to:
- Connect Claims to Movements: Master the ability to identify specific physical behaviors associated with common injury claims, such as herniated discs, sciatica, and rotator cuff tears.
- Recognize Inconsistencies in Body Mechanics: Gain a clinical perspective on how "invisible injuries" like soft tissue strains and nerve pain should manifest in movement.
- Optimize Surveillance & Reports: Learn "Pro Tips" to refine your reporting, moving from simple descriptions to detailed observations of range of motion, weight-bearing, and transitions.
In the field, your surveillance footage tells the story, but your reports provide the evidence. Start using the clinical language that transforms a standard surveillance report into a high-impact professional record.
