All Boston-area students, residents, fellows, and young professionals are invited to attend a special networking event, the “Rising Health Policy Leaders Forum.” With the presidential elections around the corner and our domestic healthcare system poised for significant change in the coming years, the goal of this inaugural event is to bring together the next generation of health policy leaders. The event will include a keynote address by David Blumenthal, MD, MPP on the future of health policy in the U.S. Following the keynote address, a panel of young leaders from various fields (medicine, business, law, government) will share career advice and discuss how the next generation of leaders can position themselves to effect positive and meaningful change.

Etherdome, it sounds like a great event. Do we need to RSVP.

 

[etherdome]

Liquid Magma,

You don't have to RSVP (though a heads up so we have a rough headcount is always appreciated). The event is really for you guys (and gals). It really has two goals: 1) To bring together the rising generation for a discussion of the future of medicine, and 2) help with career mentorship. A lot of the top physician and policy experts from the different Harvard programs (and other Boston programs) are planning to show up and it should be a great opportunity to network with other young people who have similar interests.

Let me know if you have other questions.

Hey etherdome,

This event is free, right. Sounds sweet. I think I'm finishing up in the OR early and will try to drop by. (BTW, who's on the panel??).

Later,
