1 event,The FDA faces substantial challenges as it seeks to satisfy the expectation of the public for safe food and safe and effective medical products. These challenges include the wide array and virtually infinite number of products for which FDA has regulatory responsibility and the finite resources available to monitor them. The agency’s former chief counsel will discuss regulatory problem solving, focusing on the “why” and “how” of product regulation. |

The health care overhaul law passed by Congress in 2010 sets out national goals and requirements. But many of the key decisions implementing the law are left to the states. What’s happening in Georgia and other states to implement exchanges and other aspects of the health reform law? How are states coping with the law’s Medicaid expansion in a time of budget deficits? As they plan for reform, how are states addressing tough issues such as health care for undocumented immigrants and cutbacks in mental health services? How do states go about getting waivers from the reform law, and how many might take advantage of that option? This briefing will help you better answer these questions for your readers, viewers and listeners. RSVP by noon Nov. 13 to Atlanta chapter chair Andy Miller, andymill111@yahoo.com |
