The Emerging Issues in Medicine Summit will bring together physicians, PAs, health care leaders, policy experts, and innovators to examine the forces shaping today’s health care environment.

Through keynote presentations, expert panels, and real-world discussion, participants will explore:

• Access to care, including workforce shortages, capacity challenges, rural strain, and the pressures affecting health care delivery across communities
• Rising health care costs and affordability, with discussion of consolidation, payment incentives, care variation, drug costs, insurance, and other factors influencing the economics of care
• Artificial intelligence in practice, including emerging opportunities, potential risks, policy considerations, and the realities of adopting AI in health care settings
• Data-driven innovation, exploring how health data, technology, and new tools can support stronger clinical and organizational decision-making and improve care

Throughout the summit, participants will hear current research, practical perspectives, and real-world examples designed to deepen understanding of the economic, technological, and workforce trends influencing modern health care.

Attendees will leave better equipped to assess opportunities for improving access, quality, efficiency, and patient outcomes within their organizations and communities.
