NextMed-MMVR21_Program

This update describes the Thursday, Friday, and Saturday morning plenary sessions, with their featured presentations. These complement the regular lecture tracks, poster sessions, workshops, panels, and exhibits that provide attendees a wealth of new research in IT-enabled tools and methods for healthcare.

Keep in mind that the Friday evening private tour and reception at USC’s Institute for Creative Technologies will be popular. Space is limited and advance registration necessary.

Note that the program may change in order to accommodate logistical requirements, although we aim to keep it as stable as possible.

Contact us (MMVR21-at-NextMed-dot-com) with any questions about the program.
