(Papers to be published in Indiana University Law School’s Health Law Review)
One or more additional presenters will be selected from a call for papers.
Health Law professors have long utilized the principles of experiential learning in their classes. This panel presents a sampling of the many different ways that health law professors are reaching out of the classroom and helping their students experience the real world. The panel will be moderated by Jennifer S. Bard, Alvin R. Allison Professor of Law at Texas Tech University School of Law and will consist of JoNel Newman, Director of the Health and Elder Law Clinics at the University of Miami School of Law, who will discuss her innovative program in which a hospital-based clinic has developed into a setting where law students and medical students work together to learn about and address patients’ legal and medical needs; Marshall B. Kapp, Director, Center for Innovative Collaboration in Medicine & Law and Courtesy Professor of Law at Florida State University who will present on his efforts to bring the legal and medical professions closer together; Wendy E. Parmet, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and George J. and Kathleen Waters Matthews Distinguished University Professor of Law at Northeastern University School of Law, will discuss the role of Northeastern's innovative co-op program in bringing students with interests in health law directly into health care settings beyond what would be possible in an externship or summer clerkship; Charity Scott, Catherine C. Henson Professor of Law and Director for the Center for Law, Health and Society, at Georgia State Law School who will discuss several interdisciplinary initiatives that get law students out of the law school classroom and into interdisciplinary and professional settings, and Sallie Thieme Sanford, Assistant Professor of Law and Adjunct Assistant Professor of Health Services at the University of Washington will present two courses in health care law and ethics she taught to law and nursing students at Haramaya University in rural eastern Ethiopia.
The Call for Papers associated with this panel generated so many interesting and innovative programs that the Indiana University Law School’s Health Law Review has agreed to print pieces about these programs as well as the proceedings of the panel in a spring 2012 volume.
