Masterminds in Healthcare
Join us for an afternoon of TED-style talks featuring four trailblazing faculty members whose research spans the full spectrum of healthcare. Under the theme "From Bedside to Bench," each speaker will explore how real-world clinical experiences fuel groundbreaking discoveries in the lab and how those discoveries, in turn, shape the future of patient care. Whether you're passionate about research, practice or both, this event offers a front-row seat to the ideas transforming healthcare today.
