*Paper Catalog Correction: This SIG meets the first Wednesday of each month.

Health care and health policy are changing rapidly. This SIG has considered advances in medicine such as robotic surgery, bio-prosthetics and immunotherapy for cancer. Other recent discussions include controversies regarding Medicare Advantage plans, direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising, vaccine hesitancy, using AI in clinical medicine and bariatric surgery vs GLP-1 drugs for obesity. Members in this SIG will consider one issue each month with a lecture/discussion led by an outside expert or a SIG member. Health practitioners and others are encouraged to join this SIG in order to enrich the discussion with their personal expertise and knowledge.
