On May 25, 2015, Professor Robert I. Field, Professor of Law, Director of JD/MPH Program at the Thomas R. Kline School of Law and Professor of Health Management and Policy at the School of Public Health at Drexel University visited XMU Law School and presented a lecture "Regulation in the United States: Law, Business and the Health Care".
He talked about the ways in which legal and regulatory structures have formed the foundation for the private health care sector in the United States and the lessons of the American health care experience for other countries. He also discussed how regulatory law has enabled the government to establish programs that have promoted the growth of important sectors of the huge private health care industry, including pharmaceuticals, hospitals, insurance, and the medical profession. Recent American health system reforms have been very controversial but have followed the same pattern. The underlying lesson is that the development of a modern health care system requries that the public and private sectors work in collaboration.
During the visit of Professor Field, XMU Law School Associate Dean Professor Zhu Yansheng held meetings with him and attended the lecture.
