The program immerses attendees in the statutes, regulations, and other guidances that comprise the body of law known as “fraud and abuse law,” as well as other healthcare related laws and regulations which will help them understand the legal underpinnings of the compliance programs they develop and enforce

1. Defining conflicts of interest
2. Evaluating the potential impact of conflicts of interest on research participants and the integrity of research results
3. FDA and NIH requirements related to conflicts of interest
4. State laws related to conflicts of interest
5. The role of disclosure as a remedy to conflicts of interest
6. Best practices in conflicts of interest management

For more information, please contact Cathy Finizio at catherine.finizio@shu.edu.

Visiting Professor Melissa B.Jacoby, George R. Ward Professor of Law University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, will review new research on how financially distressed patients deal with out-of-pocket medical bills and the implications for their health care providers.  The lecture will feature findings from two current empirical studies that shed light on the impact of medical bills on people who file for bankruptcy, and will consider how this work might inform health care finance, consumer credit regulation, and bankruptcy law.
