33rd Annual Health Law Symposium
March 5, 2021, Zoom

Description
Serious ethical violations among physicians undermine public trust in the healthcare system and cause serious harm to patients. Egregious forms of wrongdoing that direct harm patients, such as sexual abuse, wrongful prescribing of controlled substances, and unnecessary surgeries, are particularly alarming. State medical boards are tasked with protecting the public by ensuring that physicians adhere to ethical guidelines and appropriate standards of care. However, it is unclear why boards sometimes fail to remove seriously offending physicians from practice in a timely manner or what measures would make boards more effective in protecting patients from harmful misconduct.

This conference will present the findings of an innovative Greenwall Foundation-funded project that provides solutions to this problem. Working directly with state medical board members and other experts, the researchers have developed a consensus on the most important tools and practices needed to protect the public when physicians are accused of egregious wrongdoing and barriers to adopting those tools and practices. The conference will focus on these findings and invite responses to a carefully chosen set of recommendations for state statutory provisions for discussion.

31st Annual Health Law Symposium
April 5, 2019, John K. Pruellage Courtroom, Scott Hall

Description
Medicaid was the "sleeper provision" when Congress created Medicare in 1965.
Today, it is the workhorse of the U.S. health system, covering nearly half of all births, 1 in 3 children, and 2 in 3 people in nursing homes. Medicaid now provides coverage to 1 in 5 Americans, with enrollment soaring to more than 76 million people since 2014 when the Affordable Care Act expanded eligibility to include all low-income working age adults. It is both the largest source of federal revenues to states and the second largest item in state budgets after education. This symposium explored the future of Medicaid, and the competing visions that struggle to define its future.

30th Annual Health Law Symposium
Friday, April 6, 2018, John K. Pruellage Courtroom

Broad shifts in U.S. policy under President Trump affect population health well beyond the repeal of the ACA's tax-penalty. How do we pursue population health in a political regime suspect of or even hostile to scientific evidence? In an environment that accommodates racial and economic disparities, is health equity possible? SLU LAW's 30th Annual Health Law Symposium explored these and other questions.
