Annual Meeting“Legal Medicine:

Where will the Road Lead”February 27 – March 2, 2014

Westin Galleria DallasDallas, Texas

NAMED LECTURES REGISTRATIONA C L M

A Message From the Program Chair American College of Legal Medicine Board of Governors 2013 – 2014

On behalf of the American College of Legal Medicine’s President, Victoria Green, MD, JD, FCLM, and the Board of Governors, I invite you to en-joy our 54th Annual Conference: “Legal Medicine: Where Will the Road Lead.” The excellent faculty of speakers will be addressing many contem-porary and controversial issues in health law and health policy. The pro-gram also includes a number of sessions designed to provide physicians, dentists and attorneys with tools and information that will immediately impact their everyday practice. These sessions include: the traditional update of judicial and legislative actions, electronic health records and digital data, accountable care organizations and healthcare fraud, medi-cal malpractice, a special international health law session, peer review and disruptive physicians, societal impact on health care, and a session on guns and mental health regulatory issues. Again This Year: There is a special medical ethics session. This session is designed for physicians who are required to receive two hours of medi-cal ethics CME credits to renew their license. This year the S. Sandy Sanbar Lecture will be given by Dr. Eli N. Avila, Secretary of Health for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania – “Making Practical Change in Public Health Law”. On the 50th year anniversary of the Kennedy Assassination, Dr. Cyril Wecht, noted pathologist, will dis-cuss his involvement with the investigation of the assassination. Finally, Bruce H. Seidberg, DDS, MScD, JD, FCLM, will again host the dental program, which will run concurrently with the main program. In addition to these fine presentations, the 54th Annual Meeting will also contain sev-eral traditional sessions including: the annual Cyril Wecht Luncheon, the Annual Women’s Leadership Breakfast, and the poster presentation ses-sion. Perhaps most importantly, the College will again host two receptions on Friday and Saturday evening, which will provide valuable networking opportunities. Whether you are a first time attendee, a physician in need of medical eth-ics CME, or a long-time Fellow or member of the College, we invite you to the 54th Annual Meeting of the American College of Legal Medicine.

Educational NeedsPhysicians, dentists, attorneys and educators who practice in the healthcare industry and its related fields recognize that the practice of medicine is com-plicated by abundant legislative requirements, administrative rules and regulations and Federal/State court decisions interpreting those laws. It is difficult to maintain a working knowledge of these developments. This meeting will provide details of new legislation, rules and court decisions, societal changes and shifts in the market place that will impact the practice of medicine. Key changes impacting the practice of medicine during the past one to two years include: the impact of technology including Electronic Medical Records (EMRs); accountable care organizations and their evolution; state imposed ethics require-ments as part of the continuing education process; physicians seeking non-traditional employment; medical malpractice; the outsourcing of healthcare services; and social networking’s impact on the practice of medicine.

ObjectivesThe 54th Annual Conference of the American College of Legal Medicine will focus on a diverse range of current legal medicine topics. By the conclusion of this meeting, participants should be able to:1. Describe recent legislative and court opinions affecting medical and dental practice.2. Integrate medical and legal ethics into their daily practice.3. Identify techniques for overcoming personal impediments to a fulfilling professional practice.4. Explain medical malpractice risks, trial techniques and identify high-risk patient scenarios.5. Translate the impact of globalization on public health policy.6. Recognize the impact of social media and Telehealth on the practice of medicine and law.7. Integrate new regulatory changes into current practice.8. Identify the advantages and disadvantages of physician unions and opting out of Medicare.9. Explain the legal liabilities inherent in conducting peer review investigations.10. Explain the legislative history and case law of three areas critical to salaried physicians in order to join a professional union – their employee status, their

supervisor status and their managerial status.11. Describe dental and legal issues involved in today’s health care.12. Explain the practice of legal medicine and healthcare initiatives on a global or international perspective.

The meeting location for the ACLM 54th Annual Meeting is the Westin Galleria Dallas in Dallas, Texas. AttractionsDallas has a wide variety of attractions that combine elements of amuse-ment, excitement, history and education each in their own iconic way. For a look under the sea, into the rainforest and to the shores of South Africa, visit the Dallas World Aquarium where exotic birds, endangered animals and a multitude of marine life await. Kick things into high gear at Zero Gravity Thrill Amusement Park, the world’s only “Thrill Amusement Park”. It features five different extreme rides perfect for all thrill seekers.

For a deliciously interesting look into the unique cuisines of Dallas, try out the Dallas by Chocolate & Dallas Bites Food Tours. The tours offer inter-esting facts and contests while guests travel to locally owned restaurants and shops where scrumptious samples are in store.

Take a step back into history and an event that shocked the nation at the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, which is located in the former Texas School Book Depository where evidence of a sniper was found following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The museum takes a journey through the assassination, aftermath and JFK’s ongoing effect on the world. Explore the options that Dallas has to offer, for unique muse-ums and entertainment choices can be found all over the city.

Shopping With moderate temperatures throughout the year, Dallas offers a wealth of shopping options both in and outdoors. The Galleria Dallas was listed in USA Today as “One of the Top 10 Places to Spend it All,” and is con-veniently located right through the lobby of The Westin Galleria Dallas. The Galleria Dallas features an international collection of stores, bringing first-rate shopping straight to Dallas. For shoppers looking for a good deal, Allen Premium Outlets houses 100 outlet stores of different design-ers and name brands where you can save money every day.

Dining/Nightlife Dallas offers more than just the barbecue and steakhouses typical of Texas with eclectic options from all over the globe, and is filled with opportunities to catch live music and an evening of dancing. The House of Blues Dallas offers both live music and a southern inspired cuisine, bringing together both dinner and a night out on the town. Another option for turning a dining experience into a night out is the Place at Perry’s, an original restaurant in Dallas that has been serving steak and seafood for over 10 years with a bar that is open late night. The nightlife options are not only limited to restaurants, for Dallas offers a wide selection of bars and comedy clubs for you to explore.

Weather The weather in February in Dallas averages from a low of 40 degrees Fahrenheit a high of 65 degrees Fahrenheit.
