HEALTH LAW AND POLICY 

SEMINAR SERIES

The Institute has once again concluded its popular Fall / Winter lunch time series of seminars on topics related to health law and policy.  Speakers came from near and far to share with the audience their research and reflections on the latest issues.  In turn, the audience representing a cross-section of various interested groups, including law firms, hospitals, government, universities, and the general public, enjoyed the opportunity to engage in informal discussions with our knowledgable and respected speakers.   Everyone benefited!  

The Institute is at work putting together another exciting series for 2012-13.  Watch for programme details to be posted here in mid to late August.

Below is a recap of the series just concluded.
