As public health and medical research continues to find answers to our individual and social needs, our health care systems are also changing. New technology in medical research and practice disrupt what is familiar and innovate what is to come. Medical testing and records are being digitized, new techniques are using augmented reality, and there is increased use of artificial intelligence, all of which are impacting how health is maintained, lives are saved, and how we make some of life’s hardest choices.

As technology evolves, so do our conversations on ethics, care provision, research, and more. Join our panel of experts online as they discuss the changing landscape of medicine and technology, and how it impacts us all.

Presented in partnership with the UBC Faculty of Applied Science, Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Peter A. Allard School of Law.
