A. Section Profile
The Medical Law section provides a forum for members interested in any aspect of medical law and ethics to meet and discuss ideas. The section's remit is broad, with interest in all health-related issues - national, international, and global - in law, policy, and practice. The section meets at the Annual Conference, where an inclusive, engaging, scholarly environment allows participants to enjoy and discuss paper presentations and share ideas with colleagues. Generally, the format involves two formal papers per session, with plenty of time allocated for friendly, in-depth discussion.
