Elisabeth Rosenthal, MD |
Rosenthal is the editor-in-chief of Kaiser Health News, a contributing opinion writer at The New York Times, and the author of An American Sickness, a revealing investigation into America's healthcare system.
A former ER physician, Rosenthal was an award-winning reporter at The New York Times for 22 years, gaining acclaim for her coverage of health and health policy issues. Drawing on her expertise, Rosenthal unpacks one of America's most complex and frustrating institutions with a humanist approach, and examines what physicians, patients, and providers can do to help repair it.
Rosenthal will present a 60-minute lecture, answer questions for 15 minutes, and then be available to sign books.
