Marc Scheineson participated in a video panel discussion that appears on the Medscape Web site (www.medscape.com). The session, entitled "The Future of the FDA and HHS Under the Next Administration and the Impact on CME,” addressed the upcoming election, and several specific related issues: (1) what to expect from the next leaders of FDA and HHS; (2) how the post-election environment will affect CME; and (3) what the most important changes will be in healthcare outside the CME realm.
Scheineson spoke extensively throughout the panel discussion, touching on issues of regulation, the prospects of additional restrictions on direct-to-consumer advertsing, potential candidates for Secretary of Health and Human Services and Commissioner or the Food and Drug Administration, and the overall outlook for health care in the wake of a government turnover.
