About the Program

Attending AHLA's Annual Meeting and In-House Counsel Program will provide you with the most current information and analysis on a myriad of legal issues facing the health care industry in thoughtful, practical, solution-oriented sessions. Whether it’s through attending a session on a new topic, diving deeper into your expertise, or networking with colleagues, you will gain new insight in the world of health law.

We are pleased to announce that attendees will have the opportunity to learn from Gurpreet Dhaliwal, MD, who is a is a clinician-educator and Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Dhaliwal is an expert on how doctors think—how they make diagnoses, how they develop diagnostic expertise, and what motivates them to improve their practice and the systems in which they work—as well as on physician leadership, physician engagement, the future of medicine, and the need for physicians to engage in high-value care and as he addresses these topics, he considers how they intersect with health equity.

Additionally, S. Craig Holden, Robert H. Homchick, and Kristen Rosati will take attendees through the journey of key developments over the past year - the highlights and low-lights. It's a must see!
