Description
At a time when health care costs and outcomes in the U.S. are under fire and physician burnout is at epidemic levels, medical education across the country is undergoing significant change. Which changes will best prepare today’s medical students to be the doctors who will improve the health of our communities, as well as the health of healers? Lisa Grill Dodson, MD, Campus Dean for MCW-Central Wisconsin and professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine, will explore the changes going on in medical education and health care delivery to answer questions about what it will take to improve health care outcomes. This lecture is the first in the 2018 MCW Women in Science lecture series. The annual series showcases outstanding research by MCW female scientists and provides financial support for their cutting-edge work. Those interested in registering can visit mcw.edu/womeninscience.
