Focusing on the mounting medicolegal problems associated with the prevention of patient injury from medical products, medical devices and drugs, the American Society of Law & Medicine has designed a unique and most timely national conference using a multi-disciplined approach to cover liability in malpractice and products liability actions of hospitals, physicians, other health-care providers, manufacturers and suppliers. The program, “Injury from Medical Products, Devices and Drugs—Liability of Manufacturers, Hospitals and Physicians” will be a full two day meeting at the Copley Plaza Hotel in “Bicentennial” Boston, June 21 and 22, 1976.

The faculty is composed of outstanding authorities with expertise in the field of products liability and medical malpractice legal actions, insurance coverage, safety and prevention programs, hospital administration, and governmental regulatory agencies.

The legal rights of the physically disabled individual and the medicolegal implications of rehabilitation medicine are being identified as issues of critical importance throughout the country. In a unique one day symposium, the American Society of Law & Medicine and the Medical Rehabilitation Research and Training Center of Tufts New England Medical Center will attempt lo explore how recent advances in the field of rehabilitation and consumer advocacy play a growing role in the development of medicolegal alternatives to the handicapped and disabled.

The program will be held on December 1, 1976 at the Sheraton Boston Hotel and will be chaired by Carl V. Granger, M.D., psychiatrist-in-chief of the Rehabilitation Institute of New England Medical Center Hospital. Dr. Granger also serves as President of the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
