Perspectives on global healthcare

Cedars-Sinai International is a global extension of Cedars-Sinai’s mission, vision, and values. It presents a series of information-sharing sessions for healthcare professionals, leaders, and anyone interested in the advances in global healthcare and its implications. The signature programs are Global Healthcare Grand Rounds and Healthcare Diplomacy.

In the Global Healthcare Grand Rounds, experts are invited to share their perspectives, experience and knowledge on international healthcare delivery, patient experience, quality and process improvement, collaborations, and system development. Healthcare Diplomacy brings together healthcare professionals, business leaders and policy makers from all over the world, in which healthcare serves as a communication conduit to enhance collaborations among different organizations and countries.
