Lonny Rosen Returns to Osgoode Hall Law School

For the sixth year running, Lonny will be co-teaching (with Simmie Palter of INQ Law) an upper year seminar in health law at his alma mater, Osgoode Hall Law School. This seminar explores the dynamic and challenging field of health law, with a focus on practical issues. The course provides a survey of the legal framework and policy considerations underlying the cornerstone areas of health law, including: consent to treatment; mental capacity and substitute decision-making; professional regulation and governance; medical malpractice; mental health law; and health information privacy. Practical and topical issues will be explored in the areas of: elder law (issues in long-term care facilities, retirement homes); the law of medical assistance in dying in Canada; human rights in health care; hospitals and health care facilities (including physician privileges, employment issues and tensions between administrators, healthcare professionals and other stakeholders); the civil commitment system; reproductive health and surrogacy; governance of health care; and corporate health issues.
