MILWAUKEE -Healthcare is the focus of a new series of roundtable breakfast discussions held by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee College of Health Sciences. The topic of the third of the series scheduled for Monday, April 8 in the Alumni Fireside Lounge, UWM Union, 2200 E. Kenwood Blvd., is the issues surrounding prescription drugs. Guest speakers Mark Kremer and Matt Hurlburt, Pfizer district managers, will discuss the full range of prescription drug issues--cost to patients, research, marketing, and advertising--that have a major impact on health care delivery and cost.
Randall S. Lambrecht, dean of the College of Health Sciences, emphasizes that the Grand Rounds series is designed for laypersons as well as health care professionals. "Whether healthcare is the focus of your professional life or your primary concern is healthcare for your family, the decisions you make and the policies you set in motion have major implications. Grand Rounds is a series of roundtable discussions on healthcare issues designed to promote thoughtful dialogue and share information."
Roundtable discussion begins at 7:30 a.m. with a breakfast buffet, and speakers at 8 a.m. Audience involvement and dialogue will follow, with the session ending promptly at 9 a.m. Parking is available in the UWM Union parking garage, 2200 E. Kenwood Blvd.
Participants can pre-register by calling 229-3225 or email mailto:cheridc@uwm.edu. The $9 cost covers breakfast and parking.
