The OSI Law and Health Initiative has released a CD-ROM that includes readings, lectures, and background information for a February 2007 seminar, "Teaching Human Rights in Patient Care," part of the Salzburg Medical Seminar series. Organized by LAHI, the seminar brought together country teams from Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Ukraine for one week of instruction on how to create a course on law, health, and human rights for implementation in universities in their home countries.
