“We want to bring the depth and breadth of UChicago Medicine to our referring medical community,” said Kenneth S. Polonsky, MD, dean of the Biological Sciences Division and the Pritzker School of Medicine and executive vice president for medical affairs at the University of Chicago. “Learning at the Forefront will enable to us to share our faculty’s insights, techniques, procedures and expertise with their colleagues around the globe.”
UChicago Medicine is the first medical center in Illinois to partner with BroadcastMed, which works with more than 40 leading medical facilities to develop comprehensive learning portals. The lectures and presentations from UChicago Medicine faculty will enhance the company’s extensive portfolio of presentations.
