2016 Symposium Regulating Innovation in Healthcare: Protecting the Public or Stifling Progress? Nova Southeastern University Shepard Broad College of Law and the Nova Law Review seek submissions for a symposium on October 14, 2016. Regulating Innovation in Healthcare: Protecting the Public or Stifling Progress? will address the legality, advisability, and effects of the regulation of healthcare, defined broadly. The topic is especially timely this year because 2016 marks the 50th anniversary of one of the major scholarly developments giving rise to the current regulation of human subjects research in the United States. While the symposium is intended to discuss far more than regulation of human subjects research, the publication of Dr. Henry K. Beecher’s 1966 article in The New England Journal of Medicine provides a useful jumping-off point for exploring the regulation of innovation throughout the healthcare system.

The symposium is an opportunity for academics, practitioners, and students in a variety of legal and medical fields to exchange ideas and explore emerging issues. Interdisciplinary presentations are encouraged. Authors and presenters are invited to submit proposals on topics including but not limited to the following:

New and Emerging Business Models
 ACOs
 PCMHs
 Concierge care
 Healthcare registries
 Value-based healthcare
 Population-health-focused healthcare
 E-health

FDA Issues
 Complementary medicine
 Alternative medicine
 Nutraceuticals
 Orphan drug approvals
 Fast-track approvals
 Biologics
 Globalization of the pharmaceutical industry

About NSU Law’s Health Law Program: Building on a history of innovation, NSU Law provides health law and health care academics with exciting opportunities for cutting-edge research and scholarship. It also provides students interested in health law with excellent opportunities for interprofessional collaboration and practical skills-building. It offers the only health law concentration in the state of Florida, and the health law faculty make a point of collaborating across professions and encouraging students to do so.

NSU Law’s unusually close geographic proximity to NSU’s Health Professions Division, with both located on the same campus, fosters such interaction among both faculty and students. The University’s new, $80 million Center for Collaborative Research will boast a Cell Therapy Institute for cell-based biomedical research, NSU’s Center for Neuro-immune Medicine, one of the world’s largest wet labs, and the NSU Technology Incubator. Along with such activities will come a need for legal study of and legal representation about matters as diverse as health-care-related intellectual property law and clinical research regulations. All present potential opportunities for academic scholarship, experiential workshops for practitioners, and law student field placements. South Florida, comprised of Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties, has 48 hospitals and numerous other health care businesses, and has been called a “`mini-Silicon Valley’ for health care innovation.”
