The goal of the International Congress of Medical Law is to discuss a wide range of topics from the intersection of law and medicine, including topics related to healthcare law, medical malpractice, patient rights, bioethics, health policy, and regulatory compliance.
Presentations may focus on recent legal-medical cases and their implications, emerging legal and medical trends, and best practices in legal, medical and ethical decision-making. Presentations may touch upon problems from any geographical location.
Example research areas:
• Medical malpractice laws
• Liability of healthcare providers
• Patient rights (e.g., informed consent)
• The legal implications of emerging healthcare technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence, gene editing, telemedicine)
• Healthcare fraud and abuse laws
• Ethical issues in clinical research and drug development
• The intersection of medical and disability law
• Legal issues related to end-of-life care and euthanasia
• Health policy in various countries (e.g. Poland, Germany, China, Brazil, the United States)
• Healthcare reform
• Legal considerations for healthcare organizations and administrators
• The role of medical malpractice insurance in healthcare delivery and quality.
And many more!
The thematic areas indicated above are only exemplary. We strongly encourage you to go beyond them. In addition, the speeches may be interdisciplinary, combining various fields of science.
