I'm going to be one of the facilitators of "design groups" at the Health Care Systems Design Intensive in Baltimore, Feb 2-5, 2009. The idea of design groups comes from the School for Designing a Society: a small group setting in which participants are invited think big. As a starting point, each participants is asked to write a list of statements about which she or he would say: "While it is not the case, I desire it to be the case." In other words, the assignment is to write a list of statements that are currently false—which the writer wishes were true.
This October the Gesundheit Institute hosted John M Stang MD Medical Elective on the land in West Virginia, under the title "Humanistic Medicine: Constructiing Your Humanism." The eleven participants from four continents were offered inspiring examples from around the world and helpful principles. Together they explored how to incorporate humanism in their own health care careers in service to humanity.
