The conversation will be livestreamed and take place between 12:10-1:30pm. 

Following this conversation, the Solomon Center will hold another event on November 28 looking at the future of health care reform after the election, examining the Affordable Care Act, the Food and Drug Administration and other related topics. Panelists include Peggy Hamburg, former Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and John McDonough, Professor of Practice at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health in the Department of Health Policy and Management and Director of the Center for Executive and Continuing Professional Education.

The Center brings together leading experts and practitioners from the public and private sectors to address cutting-edge questions of health law and policy, and to train the next generation of top health lawyers, industry leaders, policymakers, and academics.
