Bioethics and Health Law Consortium of South Florida

(BAHLC)

History

Since 1997, through this group, medical caregivers, social workers and lawyers have discussed current issues of interest with professors of law, medicine philosophy, public health, psychology and other health care specialties.Today the group includes professors of law, various medical disciplines, education and philosophy; graduate and professional students; medical professionals such as doctors, nurses, social workers, optometrists and pharmacists; and practicing attorneys. Members hail from Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties in South Florida.

Currently, the group is meeting on an irregular schedule, when special projects arise. It used to meet once a month during the academic year, alternately in Coral Gables, FL (at the University of Miami School of Law) and Davie, FL (at Nova Southeastern University’s Shepard Broad Law Center).
