The geriatric advisory board was formed in 2004 to help guide the senior-focused health plan in its approach to member-centered programs and services, to bring innovative ideas from the field, and to provide SCAN leadership with broad perspective into pressing geriatric health policy issues. One member of the SCAN geriatric advisory board is Kenneth Brummel-Smith, M.D., Charlotte Edwards Maguire, professor of geriatrics and the founding chair of the Department of Geriatrics at the Florida State University College of Medicine.

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.
