This timely, advanced course of study provides legal practitioners and governmental and health care personnel with a comprehensive overview of recent developments and major trends in health care law and litigation. New issues in privacy, employment, and affirmative action are covered. In addition, the program addresses new directions in antitrust law, health care compliance, ethical and professional responsibility principles, emerging litigation in the pharmaceutical industry, new law governing clinical trials and human subject experimentation, new physician self-referral regulations, nursing home litigation, and the effect of the Internet on health care delivery. Substantial new areas have been added to this year's program and prior topics have been revised and updated. Each presentation is followed by a panel discussion.
Registrants have an opportunity to raise questions during and after the proceedings.
A panel discussion takes place during or after each presentation. A book of specially prepared study outlines and related material will be distributed at the course site. To ensure that study materials are as timely as possible, books generally are not printed until immediately before the program, and thus are not usually available in advance of the course for which they are prepared. To order these materials separately, please use the form provided. Tuition entitles registrants to admission to all sessions, a set of study materials, and Continental breakfasts daily.
