Program description:
Join us for an insightful webinar exploring the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) recent final rule banning noncompete agreements for most employers and employees and its profound implications for physicians practicing in Indiana. Noncompete agreements have long been a contentious issue in the health care industry, often restricting physicians' ability to change employers or start their practices freely. However, with the FTC's new stance, significant changes are underway. This session will also touch on a recent Indiana law, Senate Enrolled Act (SEA) 7 (2023), which provides that a primary care physician and an employer may not enter a noncompete agreement and places new requirements on noncompete clauses for other physicians.
Objectives:
At the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Understand the FTC's ban on noncompete agreements including which employers and employees will be covered by the ban.
- Explore the implications for physicians in Indiana, including those currently bound by noncompete agreements.
- Learn legal considerations and potential challenges for physicians and health care organizations.
- Explain current Indiana noncompete laws and explore how the FTC’s ban could impact existing state statutes.
