Grand Horizon Room-Covell Commons
The event will be held on on Saturday, January 27, 2001 from 9:00 am to 1:30 pm in the Grand Horizon Room at Covell Commons. The topic this year is "How Information Technology Will Change the way You Practice Medicine." This is the fifth year for this event, and if past conferences are any guide, this will be a very special and informative day and therefore, we strongly encourage to attend the symposium. It will present information of significant interest to all those in the health professions, especially relevant for your training in your third and fourth years of medical school but, most importantly, for your future roles as physicians in the 21st Century. Topics to be discussed by the distinguished panel of speakers include a description of future technologies, e.g. online medical records and clinical decision support systems; the barriers to implementing such technologies; who will have access to these technologies; how the new technologies will affect the quality of care; and how they will impact the physician-patient relationship.
The students and faculty advisors organizing the symposium have made special efforts to secure nationally-recognized experts as speakers for this topic, including the keynote, Dr. Kenneth Shine, President of the Institute of Medicine and former Dean of the UCLA School of Medicine . Dr. Shine has been a national leader in framing the debate over medical quality and decision-making, and he will be an outstanding keynote speaker for this event. Lunch will be provided
