Rheumatologist Elana Oberstein-Harris '93, physician Heidi Mason '96 and healthcare technology CEO Gonzalo Diaz '99 were joined by hospital director Yvonne Johnson-Phillips to help students understand what the future holds for the healthcare industry and how leadership, innovation, and compassion are shaping that future.
After introductions, the medical professionals met in classrooms with students and guided them through case studies drawn directly from their careers. The sessions were designed to expand students’ understanding how science, ethics, policy and patient needs intersect in real-world medicine.
