NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF HEALTH LAW TEACHERS
CO-HOSTED
BY UH LAW CENTER’S HEALTH LAW & POLICY INSTITUTE,
BAYLOR COLLEGE OF MEDICINE
Baylor College of Medicine and the University of Houston Law Center’s
Health Law & Policy Institute will unite to co-host the 29th
Annual Health Law Teachers Conference June 2-4.
The conference is intended for professionals who teach health law
or bioethics in schools of law, medicine, public health, health
care administration, pharmacy, nursing and dentistry. It is coordinated
with the sponsorship of the American Society of Law Medicine and
Ethics (ASMLE).
The annual program, with approximately 130 attendees from across
the United States this year, encourages participants to share strategies
and ideas concerning the issues at the forefront of law and medicine.
Updates on matters such as health care cost and access, Medicare
policy, medical research and criminal issues in health care are
among the topics being discussed.
According to Joan H. Krause, Program Chair and Co-Director of the
Health Law & Policy Institute, the conference will include two
key plenary sessions: the Jay Healey Memorial Session on Teaching
Health Law, which will address, “Is All That Glitters Gold
in Our Newly Wired Classrooms? The Uses and Abuses of Technology
in Health Law Teaching," and a panel on “Medicine, Science
and the War of on Terror.”
Other weekend highlights are a poster session and the presentation
of the Jay Healey Teaching Award. The award is presented for distinguished
teaching in the field of Health Law as recognized by the peer group
of health law teachers across the United States. “The award
is given in honor of the late Jay Healey, a distinguished and beloved
health law teacher,” said Krause.
