Vote for our SXSW panel! Hacking Medical Training through Innovation

We are at the beginning of a historic era for innovation in health care delivery in the US due to the convergence of payment reform, proliferation of mobile technology, and changing provider culture toward value rather than volume-based care.

Academic medical centers (AMCs) have the potential to be leaders in this era of delivery reform, but most have yet to display a commitment to delivery innovation on par with their commitment to basic research. This discrepancy is not due to lack of talent or innovative spirit in AMCs, but rather because of a paucity of training in designing and implementing end-user validated interventions and a lack of established pathways for career advancement in clinical innovation outside of research, among other barriers.

Please join us in the exploration how AMCs can become leaders in efficient, patient-centered, and commercially sustainable innovation by committing to disruptive changes in training the next generation of clinician-innovators.

The panel includes the follow forward thinkers in health care innovation:

Madhura Bhat: Founder of Health for America

James Merlino, MD: Surgeon and Chief Experience Officer, Cleveland Clinic

Krishna Yeshwant, MD: Physician, Brigham and Women's Hospital; Partner, Google Ventures
