The student-run Center for Discourse on U.S. Health
Care Policy at Weill Cornell Medical College would like to invite you to
attend a 4-member panel discussion on medical malpractice in the U.S. The
discussion will explore opinions on the extent to which the system provides
justice for victims and reasonable retribution for physicians, as well as
criticisms the panel members have of the system.
The discussion is framed from the
perspectives of medical practice, hospital administration, and malpractice
litigation itself. Our panelists, all of whom possess a depth of knowledge and
experience of medical malpractice, will include:
- Amos

Chief of Labor and Delivery, and Director of Patient Safety for the
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at New York-Presbyterian
