Can students make a good-faith case for free-market medicine\, or explain alternative views without resorting to caricature? And what happens to medical education when certain ideas are treated as sacrosanct\, beyond reproach?\n\nJoin us in conversation with Jared Rhoads\, Founder and Executive Director of the Center for Modern Health\, as we discuss the role of debate in medical schools\, the value of intellectual diversity\, and why future physicians need to grapple seriously with competing ideas about how health care should work. \n \n \n Name(Required)\n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n \n Email(Required)\n \n Questions / CommentsDo you have a question for our speaker?
