REGISTER NOWABOUT BEYOND FLEXNER
Beyond Flexner is a national movement, focused on health equity and training health professionals as agents of more equitable health care. This movement takes us beyond centuries-old conventions in health professional education to train providers prepared to build a system that is not only better, but fairer. The broad themes of social mission include social determinants of health, community engagement, disparity reduction, diversity promotion and value-based health care.
Interprofessional education and practice are essential components of a transformed health system. The 2020 Beyond Flexner Conference offers a unique opportunity to learn more about the movement and how to integrate social mission into your profession and practice. Beyond Flexner is honored to welcome A.T. Still University and Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation at Arizona State University as cohosts for the 2020 conference. Join us April 20-22, 2020 in Phoenix, AZ for a conference experience that will be immensely informative, deeply fulfilling and enjoyable.
