In a new recording for the American Health Law Association's Speaking of Health Law podcast series, "How to 'Survive and Thrive' in Health Law: Tips for Early Career Professionals," Ari Markenson spoke with Alé Dalton, partner, Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP, about how early career professionals can use the complexities of the healthcare industry to their advantage. They discuss why the average health care lawyer is like a "Swiss army knife," how to navigate the sea of acronyms that exist in the healthcare industry, what the heavily regulated nature of healthcare means for the practice of law, the value of attending AHLA's Fundamentals of Health Law conference, and the importance of lifelong learning and establishing one's professional brand.
The podcast also gave Markenson the opportunity to discuss AHLA's Health Care Law and Policy Acronyms and Terms, a brand-new publication he edited, which was published earlier this year. The publication lists thousands of acronyms and terms associated with the practice of healthcare law and will serve as a comprehensive resource for those who engage with health law and policy.
