The conference and this book have been produced in conjunction with the Chicago Medical Society and the American Medical Association, tailored to an audience including physicians, lawyers, healthcare administrators and other healthcare business people.

Physicians will especially benefit from the content that addresses a braod range of non-clinical topics that are currently transforming American healthcare.

Physician Law: Evolving Trends & Hot Topics is an excellent reference for clinicians and professionals who want to stay abreast of current legal and regulatory issues impacting their practice.
