<blockquote type="cite" cite>We are pleased to invite you to attend
the<b> 2008 ImproveHealthCare National Collaborative Conference</b>.
This year's conference will address the timely topic of<b>
National Health Care Reform</b> within the context of the current
financial crisis. The day will feature a keynote address by Jon
Kingsdale, CEO of Mass Health Connector and a pivotal player in
Massachusetts Health Care Reform. We anticipate that the
Conference will provide a fantastic learning opportunity, a forum for
discussing critical health policy issues, and an opportunity for
students to come together with other medical students from other
ImproveHealthCare chapters, undergraduate students, faculty, and other
members of the medical community to share ideas and collaborate on how
to strengthen our student movement. Please register online at <a

<blockquote type="cite" cite><b>ImproveHeatlhCare.org</b> is an
international health care policy student organization started at
Harvard Medical School and with chapters at other medical schools
across the country. We are supported with funding from the
Commonwealth Fund. Our goal is to improve health policy
education for premedical and medical students, residents, physicians,
and others in the health care community. We approach education
at the medical school level using a small group case discussion format
to discuss salient issues in health care access, disparities, and
quality in medicine today. You can find examples of some of our
cases on our website, <a

Please do not hesitate to email us at <a

further questions or concerns. We look forward to seeing you on
