On behalf of the American College of Legal Medicine’s President Kent E. Harshbarger, MD, JD, FCLM, and the Board of Governors, I take pride in welcoming you to our 53rd Annual Conference: Law, Medicine and Your Professional Practice.

The excellent faculty of speakers will be addressing many contem-porary and controversial issues such as the outcome of the Supreme Court’s opinion in National Federation of Independent Business v. Se-belius, Supreme Court Docket No. 11-393; Decided June 28, 2012, which examines the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Af-fordable Care Act’s (Pub. L. 111-148, 124 Stat. 119 (2010)) mandate that individuals must have health insurance beginning in 2014; and the Ninth Circuit’s opinion in Buckwalter v State Board of Nevada, Docket No. 11-15742 (Feb 16, 2012), which functionally removes many, if not all, of a physician’s procedural rights during Board actions.

The program also includes a number of sessions designed to provide physicians and attorneys with tools they can use as soon as they re-turn home. These sessions include: the traditional update of judicial and legislative actions, a session on whether the healthcare market is friendly to providers, an applied technology session, a session on the application of the Art to life, medical malpractice, globalization & health care, societal impact on health care and a session on regulator issues.

NEW THIS YEAR: There is a special medical ethics session. This session is designed for physicians who are required to receive two hours of medical ethics CME credits to renew their license. State of Nevada physicians who need to meet this requirement can at-tend this stand-alone session at a reduced rate.

This year the S. Sandy Sanbar Lecture will be given by Indiana Uni-versity Professor of Law Nicolas Terry. Professor Terry will address the College on how the HITECH Act’s (42 U.S.C § 13400 et seq.) mean-ingful use requirements (42 C.F.R. § 495.4) are likely to reshape the market.

Finally, Bruce H. Seidberg, DDS, MScD, JD, FCLM, will again host the dental program, which will run concurrently with the main program.

In addition to these fine presentations, the 53rd Annual Meeting will also contain several traditional sessions including: the annual Cyril Wecht Luncheon, the Professional Development Luncheon, the Annual Wom-en’s Leadership Breakfast and the poster presentation session. Per-haps most importantly, the College will again host two receptions on Friday and Saturday evening, which will provide valuable networking opportunities.

Whether you are a first time attendee, a physician in need of medi-cal ethics CME, or a long-time Fellow or member of the College, we welcome you to the 53rd Annual Meeting of the American College of Legal Medicine, which will be held at the Las Vegas Planet Hollywood Resort, February 21 – 24, 2013.

EDUCATIONAL NEEDSMedical practice is controlled by complex legislation, administrative rules and regulations, and Federal/State court decisions interpreting those laws. The day-to-day practice schedule of the typical physician does not allow them the opportunity to maintain a working knowledge of these de-velopments. Nor do typical physicians have the luxury of time to analyze new trends that will change, effect, or streamline their medical practice. This meeting will provide reporting of new legislation, rules and court de-cisions, societal changes and shifts in the market place that will impact the practice of medicine.

Key changes impacting the practice of medicine during the past one to two years include: Infrastructural changes that will lead to market consoli-dation at both the hospital and provider levels, the impact of technology including Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) on the practice of medi-cine; State imposed ethics requirements as part of the continuing edu-cation process; physicians seeking non-traditional employment; medical malpractice; the outsourcing of healthcare services, climate change’s im-pact on communicable diseases; and social networking’s impact on the practice of medicine.

OBJECTIVES The 53rd Annual Conference of the American College of Legal Medicine will focus on a diverse range of current legal medicine topics. By the conclusion of this meeting, participants should be able to:

1. Describe recent legislative and court opinions2. Recognize why the market for physicians’ services is be-

coming extremely hostile3. Assess Medical Technology and the ability of EMRs to

eavesdrop on physician’s practices4. Integrate Medical and Legal Ethics5. Identify techniques for overcoming personal impediments

to a fulfilling professional practice6. Explain Medical Malpractice trial techniques7. Translate the impact of Globalization on public health policy8. Identify how the HITECH Act’s Meaningful Use will reshape

the healthcare market9. Recognize the impact of social media on the practice of

medicine and law10. Integrate new regulatory changes

DENTAL NEEDS The overall program developed for the 5th Annual Conference on Ethics and Legal Aspects of Dentistry is designed to educate the dental and medical communities about current issues that involve scientific aspects of dentistry as well as access to care. All aspects of the program ulti-mately relate to the art and science of dental practice.

DENTAL OBJECTIVES At the conclusion of this meeting, attendees should be able to:

1. Identify the legal issues in dentistry2. Describe the government's role and the role of dental education3. Describe the ethical, moral and diagnostic issues as they4. relate to dental practice5. Evaluate risk management considerations6. Identify issues relating to patient care7. Identify electronic record keeping requirements8. Identify the changing paradigms in clinical dentistry

The meeting location for the ACLM 53rd Annual Meeting is the Planet Hollywood Re-sort in Las Vegas, Nevada.

AttractionsLas Vegas has a wealth of tour-ist attractions just waiting to be discovered, both on and off the Strip. The mesmerizing Foun-tains of Bellagio is a top attrac-tion and, best of all, it’s free.

Spend a few hours at the Shark Reef Aquarium in the Mandalay Bay, the world’s only aquarium that’s based in a desert. If you need some time out to relax, take a Venetian gondola ride and admire the Italian-inspired architecture of the Venetian. If you’d like to take a break from the busy Strip, gain a different perspective of Vegas with panoramic views from the Observation Deck at the Stratosphere Tower; adrenaline-seekers can head to the Stratosphere Thrill Rides.

Other notable attractions include Siegfried and Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat at the Mirage, MGM Grand Lion Habitat, the Roller Coast-er at New York, New York, Pawn Stars Shop, and Vegas Indoor Skydiving.

ShoppingIt’s the variety of shopping options in Las Vegas that has pushed it near the ranks of New York City, London and Rome. The Forum Shops at Caesar’s Palace is Las Vegas’ premier retail, dining and entertainment destination featuring more than 160 boutiques and shops as well as 13 restaurants and specialty food shops. Most Strip hotels offer elegant and exquisite designer clothing and logo merchandise for the hotel or its latest show, while beyond the Strip, shoppers looking for more practical items can head for neighborhood malls, supermarkets, shopping centers and specialty stores.

Dining/Nightlife Las Vegas has recently become America’s hottest restaurant market. Many celebrity chefs have chosen Vegas as the prime location to open clones of their famous signature restaurants from across the nation as well as newborn establishments within the Strip’s top casino resorts. Ca-sino resort-dining is the cream of the crop in Las Vegas; you’ll find both fine and casual dining options in the Venetian alone. There’s also great (and more affordable) food to be had off the beaten Strip. In fact, Las Ve-gas’s growing international, and especially Asian, population has created a market for some of the best Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese and Pan-Asian restaurants in the country.

Las Vegas shows are as well-known as the city itself, and they don’t dis-appoint. Masquerade balls, magic shows, comedy acts, headliner con-certs, theatrical performances, symphonies—no matter when you visit, there’s a show to see. A Las Vegas trend is restaurants with exclusive nightclub vibes. For a night of celebrity spotting, visit the Asian-themed Tao Nightclub Vegas in the Venetian.

Weather Las Vegas in February has an average high temperature of 63 °F and an average low of 44 °F.
