Spring 2009 MSAHD Speakers Series

"Healthcare in an Age of Radical Transformation"

*All panels take place in 209 Jefferson Hall at 5pm unless otherwise noted.

The MSArch in Health Design program is sponsoring a series of panel discussions on the topic of "Healthcare in an Age of Radical Transformation" (Verderber). The purpose of these discussions is to examine the current state of healthcare and to predict the evolution of healthcare in the near future (2018/2028). Panelists will be leading members of the healthcare community including providers, constructors, consultants, futurists, builders, technologists, educators and regulators. By examining these questions from a variety of perspectives it is our hope that a coherent picture of our current practices and future trends will emerge.

Please join us for these important discussions.
