Time 4 Change:
Making Participatory Medicine Real

October 15, 2019  •  Seaport World Trade Center, Boston
7:30 am – 5:00 pm with reception to follow
Cost: $100 members/$175 non-members

 

Join us at the 3rd annual Society for Participatory Medicine (SPM) conference, co-located with the Connected Health Conference at the World Trade Center in Boston.

There’s a lot of talk in health care. How it needs to change, how we need more patient focus, consumerism, mutual respect, etc. SPM wants to turn words into action, so our conference is about more than talk. It’s about inspiration, thinking differently and becoming equipped to make participation as much a part of health care as the stethoscope.

By attending our event, you will learn how to practice Participatory Medicine whether you are a patient, caregiver, or healthcare professional and how to help others practice (and why it matters). Only true participation between caregivers, patients and health care professionals can drive the change we all yearn to see. After all, health care is a team sport!
