Introducing the Stanford Medicine X master class program

I’m so excited to announce a new innovation in our conference programming for 2013, the Stanford Medicine X Master Class program.

A master class is a class given to students of a particular discipline by an expert of that discipline—usually music, but also painting, drama, any of the arts, or on any other occasion where skills are being developed.

Medicine X is a conference about participation and relationships between all stakeholders in healthcare working together toward change.  Our Master Class program is designed to ignite that change by providing a once-in-a-lifetime learning experience for knowledge experts to help learners gain new skills in a participatory and interactive classroom setting.

The unique format of our Master Class program provides an intimate venue in a small classroom setting at the Stanford University School of Medicine. With attendance capped at 15 people, our Master Class program ensures learning is ignited by one-on-one conversations, dynamic group activities and discussion. Although no additional fee is charged, admission to a Master Class is made by application and students are selected by the Master faculty member.

We look forward to sharing with you our exciting line up of Master Classes for the 2013 Stanford Medicine X conference, held on the campus of Stanford University, September 27-29, 2013.

Our current list of Master Classes includes:

• Roni Zeiger on Health Product Design
• Susannah Fox on Participatory Research
• Sonny Vu on Crowdfunding for Health
