We could use a few more Small Group Facilitators in this year's Health Policy Interstitial which will take place on Tuesday, December 12th. The small groups will be meeting in the Albert Sherman Center from 12:45 - 2:00pm. The theme for the day is "The US Healthcare System at a Crossroads: Where Do We Go from Here?" We will send out more detailed materials and course logistics early next week. An optional prep session will also be scheduled next week for the Small Group Facilitators. Small Group Facilitators are not required to have any background in health policy and are welcome to attend any of the morning presentations and/or to join us for a free lunch from 12:00-12:45 pm. If you are interested in participating as a Small Group Facilitator on December 12th please contact Dr. Langer: carolyn.langer@umassmed.edu.
