125th Anniversary Medicine and Science Summit
The vast majority of MCW’s physician-alumni base practice medicine in a private setting and are far removed from academic medical center happenings. With every passing year, institutions are finding new ways of educating the next generation of health care providers and finding new approaches to patient care delivery. We, as an institution of academic medicine, must serve as a resource to inspire lifelong learning amongst our alumni constituencies and provide perspective for gaining new knowledge.
The audience for this activity is broad: physicians of all ages, specialties and types of practice.
As an institution of learning, it is important to offer opportunities for learners during all stages of their careers. Physicians need venues to learn – not only for their patients but for themselves – conditions that impact the aging population. This symposium is an ideal avenue for them to gain awareness, astute knowledge of specific topics and learn things they can utilize in practice and at home.
