Emerging Issues in Public Health Law

Tuesday, November 3, 2015: 10:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Oral
Law and policy are a critical part of our public health system at the local, state, national and international levels. In this session, leaders in the field of research and practice will discuss some of the challenges and emerging issues in public health law and help to set an agenda for future work in this area. Ranging from issues of Ebola to legionnaire's disease and synthetic drugs to sports concussions, the panel of experts will share their experiences and engage the audience in discussion on how public health law can best be used as a tool to promote and protect public health.
