<blockquote type="cite" cite>Dr Isaacson is currently President of the
Society for Reproductive Surgeons, and is a co-founder of the
MGH-based CIMIT (Center for Integrative Medicine and Innovative
Technologies), a consortium of Boston teaching hospitals and
engineering schools. CIMIT fosters interdisciplinary collaboration
among experts in medicine, science, and engineering, in concert with
industry and government, to improve patient care.</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>Dr Isaacson has collaborated with many
MIT engineers (in Courses 2, 6, 10, and 20) to improve surgical
methods and patient care, and to investigate basic mechanisms of
chronic disease. Dr Isaacson will provide highlights from his current
practice and provide perspective on career paths in medicine.
Collaborators from Course 6 (Prof. John Guttag) and Course 20 (Prof.
Linda Griffith) will join the discussion to provide perspective on how
PhDs participate in addressing clinical problems.</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>Format: Presentation starts at 7:30 with
Q & A from students following. Discussion about medical
career paths is especially encouraged.</blockquote>
