VIRTUAL: The Technological Fix: Presence, Absence, and the Limits of Telemedicine

Few physicians or patients have not been affected by the sudden expansion of telemedicine in the past year, which ballooned into mainstream clinical practice in 2020 as a technological patch laid over the holes in healthcare access caused by the upheaval of the COVID-19 pandemic.

IMPACT 2: Writing For Change: The Power of the Op-ed

Something bugs you. Excites you. Compels you to act. But how? How do you share your expertise or passion about a topic and try to change the world or, at least, the way some people think?
In this workshop, we’ll discuss how to get your voice onto the page and your ideas onto the national stage. We’ll cover the key components of great opinion essays, the best way to approach an outlet, working with an editor, and review a few attendees’ pieces. (Pieces of no more than 750 words need to be submitted by March 8 and will be selected by the workshop leader.)

VIRTUAL: IMPACT 2: How to Tell Your Story In Your Voice

Stories are powerful communication tools that can connect us and move us to action. Participants in this workshop will gain a basic understanding of the science of storytelling and what to consider when creating a story. We will then use Marshall Ganz’s model to help all participants draft a short “story of self.”
