Elaine Meyer is on a mission to change the world... one conversation at a time. In her intimate talk, Meyer draws on both professional and personal experience to illustrate the profound gaps in healthcare communication and how to close them.

Dr. Elaine C. Meyer is the co-founder and director of the Institute for Professionalism and Ethical Practice (www.ipepweb.org) at Boston Children's Hospital and Associate Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. The first of its kind, IPEP has trained thousands of health care practitioners across the Harvard teaching hospitals and the globe in the relational and communication competencies essential to conducting challenging conversations.
