Anstine routinely speaks and writes on regulatory compliance issues. Since 2007, he has written articles for publications addressing various issues involving compliance program operations. Since 2008, he has spoken routinely at regional and national health care compliance conferences on issues involving fraud and abuse, patient privacy and security, EMTALA, scope of practice, regulatory enforcement and compliance program operations.

Re: Jody David Armour
Professor Jody Armour was interviewed by the New York Times about the recent policy brutality incident that led to the death of Tyre Nichols. “It’s not just a Black and white issue, but a Black and blue one. And when you put on that blue uniform, it often becomes the primary identity that drowns out any other identities that might compete with it," Armour said.
