April 17 – Dr. David Skorton, president of the Association of American Medical Colleges, will participate in an active discussion about “what we didn’t get done” with former SMHS Dean Dr. Joshua Wynne – including addressing the nation’s ongoing health provider shortage, disparities in health outcomes, and how every individual can make a difference. Connect via Zoom.

May 1 – Dr. Joshua Wynne, professor in the SMHS Department of Internal Medicine, will discuss health and healthcare in North Dakota and beyond, focusing on the state’s continuing challenges and some possible solutions. (Zoom link forthcoming.)
