Why:
The Health Policy committee of the Duke University Chapter of the American Medical Association invites you to join us for an evening of discussion and networking at our health policy forum entitled State of Medicine: Universal Change. The evening will touch upon many aspects of U.S. health care, especially at a time when we expect many changes in the way health care is practiced, managed, and structured. The event is free and open to all; food will be served; business attire. Additionally, the Nasher Art Galleries will be open to attendees to peruse.
The moderated forum will have panelists discuss a range of topics relating to the current practice of health care and changes that are ahead. The first half of the event will focus on issues affecting patients (e.g. health disparities, universal health care) while the second half will focus on aspects that impact physicians (e.g. Medicare reimbursement decisions, growing costs of private practice). Various related disciplines, such as business, law, medicine, public health and public policy, will be represented in each section.
