magidI just got the schedule for this spring's "mini-med school classes," aka Longwood Seminars at Harvard Medical School. This year's topics are
HEALTH CARE POLICY: THE NEW LANDSCAPE
Wednesday, March 14, 2007
Speakers: David Blumenthal, MD, HMS Director, Institute for Health Policy, Massachusetts General Hospital; Melissa Shannon, Health Care For All; and Samuel Thier, MD (moderator) Professor Medicine, HMS, Massachusetts General Hospital.
AUTOIMMUNITY: WHEN THE BODY ATTACKS ITSELF
Wednesday, April 4, 2007
Speakers: David Hafler, MD, Professor of Neurology, HMS, Brigham and Women’s Hospital; Diane Mathis, MSc, PhD Professor of Medicine, HMS, Head of Section on Immunology, Joslin Diabetes Center; and Arlene Sharpe, MD, PhD (moderator) Professor Comparative Pathology, HMS.
SEXUAL HEALTH OVER A LIFETIME
Wednesday, April 11, 2007
Speakers: Sue Bennett, MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine, HMS, Massachusetts General Hospital; Hope Ricciotti, MD, Associate Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Biology, HMS, Program Director, Obstetrics & Gynecology Residency Program, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center; and Daniel Federman, MD (moderator) Distinguished Professor of Medicine, HMS.
ADDICTIONS: BEYOND SEX, DRUGS & GAMBLING
Wednesday, April 25, 2007
Speakers: Gregory Gasic, PhD, Assistant Professor of Radiology, HMS, Massachusetts General Hospital; Howard Shaffer, PhD, CAS, Associate Professor of Psychology, HMS, Director, Division on Addictions, Cambridge Health Alliance; and Michael C. Miller, MD (moderator), Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, HMS, Editor-in-chief, Harvard Mental Health Letter.
The fine print: It's free, register here if you're interested. All classes are 5:30 –7:00 P.M. at the school’s conference center, 77 Avenue Louis Pasteur, Boston. You can get a certificate of completion if you go to three or more classes; public school teachers can earn 10 PDPs if they go to all four. (I assume this is some kind of continuing education credits? All I think of when I see "PDP" is mainframe computer, likely with an 8, 9, 10, or 11 after it.)
