Events
The HealthcareBoard provides a series of educational events designed to bring together healthcare providers with healthcare policy makers, academe and suppliers of products and services. Together they are the makings of our HealthcareBoard. To reach many stakeholders (especially customers and their influencers) we invite you to participate in our education programs.
Breakfast with the Chiefs is an educational session that provides monthly an invited “Chief Executive” the opportunity to share new ideas, policies and/or best practices with their colleagues. Our speakers are CEOs, notable researchers, cabinet ministers, deputies, or leaders from the academic community. The briefings are 60 minutes long, concise and to the point. The sessions are webcast and a full web version is made available a week after the live presentation.
HealthcareRounds are offered once or twice a year. The sessions are designed in collaboration with teaching hospitals, major associations, clinical staff, universities, and corporate partners. Participants share practices, stimulate discussions and create learning opportunities for healthcare professionals. Topics brought forth for presentation may also be considered for publication, subject to the editor’s review.
