The American Journal of Law & Medicine 2015 Symposium – Global and Infectious Diseases: New Challenges and Solutions
Flyer: American Journal of Law & Medicine Symposium
Saturday, January 30, 2016
Boston University School of Law
Room 102
8:15 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Infectious diseases were once relegated to the dustbin of history, but today emerging and reemerging infectious diseases threaten health and health care systems in every country. This symposium will explore the interdisciplinary considerations and obstacles raised by these and similar developments. Panels will discuss ways to encourage development of infectious disease treatments, lessons learned from the recent H1N1 and Ebola outbreaks, the legal and moral implications of mandatory vaccination, infectious disease control within the US health care system, and the tension between individual freedom and state control during an outbreak.
* All—including faculty, students, and the general public—are welcome to attend. For academic questions, contact the AJLM Symposium editors at ajlmsymposium@gmail.com. To register, visit the website below.
