PRESS RELEASE

The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the University of Baltimore School of Law said Tuesday that they would forge an unusual formal collaboration aimed at fostering a stronger relationship between doctors and lawyers so they may better understand the evolving health care landscape. There are many schools that have medical-legal programs aiming to educate future lawyers on health care issues. Most of these programs are housed in one school or the other for the benefit of those students, said Marshall Kapp, director of the Florida State University Center for Innovative Collaboration in Medicine & Law, which was created last year and appears to have a similar form and mission to the planned Hopkins-Baltimore center.
