There is an educational component to all Gesundheit projects—the books, movies, lectures, clowning, global outreach, the model hospital project. In addition, Gesundheit hosts events focused on education—at the site of the future hospital and elsewhere—in the form of medical student electives, summer institutes, health care system design intensives, and conferences.

Dr. Patch Adams Resilience Workshops
Dates TBA | Online Zoom Meeting
Many of you are facing challenging times this last year during the Covid pandemic. Now more than ever it’s important to be using our tools for resilience, to dig deep and keep giving our best.
Summer Session at Gesundheit!
Dates TBA | ONLINE WEBINAR
In past years we have gathered in one physical location for School for Designing a Society sessions. This year we are offering a ten-day intensive geographically dispersed while intensively connected. One advantage to doing this course in our homes is that the applied aspects of learning can be immediately tested and redesigned; we can immediately address any losses in translation. How can we counteract the social structures—legal, non-legal, formal, informal—that treat people as something other than people?
