Upcoming Virtual Events

Webinars and Online Gatherings

Because live events have been postponed for the time being, we have scheduled a large offering of virtual events, hosted by leading Northwestern faculty and alumni, on topics ranging from cancer, COVID-19, augmented intelligence, and women in medicine, among many others.

Meet Babette Henderson, senior director of Alumni Relations at the medical school, network with fellow alumni, and hear about the latest news and ways to get involved with the medical school and the Medical Alumni Association. New dates will be added soon! For more details and to ensure that you receive future invitations to area events, please contact us.
