The Center for Health Policy and Law is joining forces with the Center for Law, Innovation and Creativity (CLIC) and the law school’s New Markets program to launch a Lunch & Learn Speaker Series aimed at increasing student access and engagement with graduates and practitioners in non-traditional legal roles. Monthly lunch conversations will take place throughout the academic year and will connect to broader initiatives that the School of Law is establishing to expand its cooperative legal education program and post-graduate opportunities for students. The first Lunch & Learn will take place in October.

Community Forum on Question 1 In November voters in Massachusetts will be asked to vote on Question 1 (mandatory nurse staffing ratios). This proposed law would limit how many patients could be assigned to each registered nurse in Massachusetts hospitals and certain other health care facilities. The maximum number of patients per registered nurse would vary by type of unit and level of care. To better understand the issue, we are hosting a community forum for all Northeastern faculty, staff, students and alumni/ae. External and community partners are also invited to attend. We encourage attendees to participate in a robust Q&A session following the panel. Speakers include representatives from: Coalition to Protect Patient Safety |
