SUMMARY:Breaking the Law or Breaking the Oath: How Abortion Bans Betray America's Patient's and Physicians
DESCRIPTION:As the decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization — and the likely subsequent overturn of Roe v. Wade and Casey v. Planned Parenthood looms — physicians and patients across the country must prepare to navigate the ethical quagmire that abortion bans present. That preparation requires an assessment of the full scope of abortion restrictions’ effects\, including how physicians’ ethical obligations to their patients and to the practice of medicine may be reshaped\, redirected or even contradicted by the threat posed by laws not founded in science or based on evidence. \nThis webinar will bring leading physician\, legal\, and ethicist voices together to discuss how the Dobbs decision betrays America’s patients and physicians — and asks physicians to be complicit by betraying their patients as well. While it’s difficult to anticipate the reach and effects of the oncoming wave of abortion bans and restrictions\, panelists will discuss how clinicians must prepare themselves mentally for the changes they will be forced to make and provide ideas on how the medical community can bring the most ethical and comprehensive care possible to patients. \nExplore the full agenda and learn about the speakers. \nWHEN/WHERE: Noon to 4 p.m. ET\, June 29\, 2022 \nLocation: Register here. \n

SUMMARY:Health\, Education\, Labor and Pensions Markup
DESCRIPTION:The Senate’s (HELP) Committee is holding a special session to review and revise a bill that would make changes to Food and Drug Administration (FDA) policies. This session is known as a markup. \nTitled the FDA Safety and Landmark Advancements (FDASLA) Act\, this bill being marked up would reauthorize the existing laws that allow the FDA to get payments from companies for reviews of prescription drugs and medical devices. These user fees are steered toward keeping the FDA’s review operations adequately staffed to prevent delays in decisions on applications. (This 2021 report from the Congressional Research Service provides more details on the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA.) \nCongress reauthorizes the PDUFA law every five years. The current authorization expires in September\, effectively setting a tough deadline for Congress. The reauthorization of the PDUFA law also provides a vehicle for members of Congress to make other changes in FDA policies. Among the proposals included in the draft bill are attempts to give the FDA more clear authority to compel drugmakers to prove that drugs cleared by accelerated approval truly offer a significant benefit to patients. \nWhen/Where: 10:00 a.m EST\, Wednesday\, June 8\, 2022 (online) \nCheck this link on the HELP page for the webcast. \nSee the HELP committee’s press release and section-by-section explainer of the bill. \n  \n
