In DeMuth v. Strong, Judge Deborah S. Eyler of the intermediate appellate court for the state of Maryland found that a trial court did not err in permitting Plaintiff’s medical expert, a board-certifie ... d vascular surgeon, to testify as to the standard of care and causation in a medical malpractice suit against a board-certified orthopedic surgeon. The Court of Special Appeals rejected the argument on appeal that the trial court violated Md. Code Ann., Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 3-2A-02(c)(2)(ii)1B and 2 (2012), which requires that a plaintiff’s expert in a medical malpractice case be board-certified in “the same or a related specialty” as the defendant physician. In reaching its conclusion, the Court held that the board certifications of vascular and orthopedic surgery overlapped such that the specialties were related, given the facts in this case.
