The Voices of Medicine and Society Series is your opportunity to hear from innovative scholars and fresh thinkers throughout the field. Supported by the Robert G. Petersdorf Fund, these conference-favorite sessions will tackle some of the most concerning and compelling issues faced by society today. Attend one or all of the sessions to hear new solutions from some of the best within and outside of academic medicine today.
These sessions push us to consider new approaches and solutions. As you listen, you’ll think about ways that academic medicine can address its shortcomings and have greater influence on challenges stretching beyond health care.
