Healthcare as Collaboration: Using Participatory Medicine to Cure What Ails Healthcare

 

Patient engagement is said to be the blockbuster drug of the century,

but what can you do to help make it happen?

 

Two of its best-known practitioners - Dr. Danny Sands and his patient, cancer survivor "e-Patient Dave" deBronkart - will show, through role-play and lectures, how participatory medicine actually played out during Dave's near-death cancer case, and what they've both learned since about its principles and practice.
