37th Annual Conference of Obstetrics, Gynecology, Perinatal Medicine, Neonatology, and the Law and 21st Annual Conference of Medical Negligence, Risk Management, Medicine, Surgery, Emergency Medicine, Radiology, and Family Medicine

37th Annual Conference of Obstetrics, Gynecology, Perinatal Medicine, Neonatology, and the Law and 21st Annual Conference of Medical Negligence, Risk Management, Medicine, Surgery, Emergency Medicine, Radiology, and Family Medicine is organized by Center for Human Genetics, INC. and will be held from Jan 02 - 08, 2022 at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Orlando, Florida, United States of America.

Session Details:
• 37th Annual Conference of Obstetrics, Gynecology, Perinatal Medicine, Neonatology, and the Law - January 2-6, 2022
• 21st Annual Conference of Medical Negligence, Risk Management, Medicine, Surgery, Emergency Medicine, Radiology, and Family Medicine - January 6-8, 2022

Target Audience:
The major objectives in these two conferences are to enhance the continuing education of a range of specialties in medicine and allied professions, including obstetrics, gynecology, midwifery, neonatology, medicine, surgery, family medicine, emergency medicine, cardiology, radiology, human genetics, and ethics. The key reasons that have characterized the success of these conferences for the past 36 and 20 years, respectively, are the highly qualified and renowned medical faculty, and the interactive insights and lessons concerning the role of law and lawyers, communicated by acknowledged “super lawyers.” Only through a thorough understanding of the complexities of medicine and law can physicians and litigators hope to deal effectively with the continuing challenges of medical and legal practice.

Conference Overview:
Notwithstanding the continuing challenges of maternal mortality, morbidity, and preterm births, obstetrics practice has become even more demanding. Advances in human genetics now, more than ever, make it necessary for genetics to have a central role in preconception, pregnancy, and perinatal care. In over five-thousand genetic disorders, specific genes have been identified enabling preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) and prenatal genetic diagnosis. It is incumbent for providers to know the exact name of the genetic disorder that affects a patient or a close family member in order to counsel, refer, and offer PGT or prenatal genetic diagnosis. Many adult onset disabling, or fatal genetic disorders are amenable to PGT or prenatal genetic diagnosis and include an extensive list of neurological, cardiovascular, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrinological disorders, other organ systems and a range of genetic cancers. Unnecessary liability will attach to practices that ignore these advances. Remember Judge Learned Hand’s decision in the TJ Hooper tugboat case [1932] in which radio receiving sets were available but not used, with total loss of cargo. “Courts must in the end say what is required; there are precautions so imperative that even their universal disregard will not excuse their omission”. This is one decision early on that established a standard of care & due diligence.

The specific goals of these conferences are to:
• Teach healthcare professionals to better comprehend the machinations of negligence law, and to develop a more complete awareness of the need for anticipatory and safety practice.
• Teach legal professionals about the complex issues encountered in the practice of medicine, including the intricacies of decision-making, aiming to sharpen their understanding on behalf of their clients, both plaintiff and defense.

Learning Objectives:
• At the conclusion of this conference, healthcare professionals will be able to articulate the role of law and lawyers in medical malpractice lawsuits and discuss the complexities of the legal process.
• At the conclusion of this conference, legal professionals will be able to describe “best-evidence” in medical malpractice as it pertains to standards of expected care in obstetrics, gynecology, midwifery, neonatology, medicine, surgery, family medicine, emergency medicine, cardiology, radiology, and human genetics.
