BioMedical Engineering and Imaging Institute zahifayad I didn’t expect that having each session in a panel format would be so much more engaging than talks. The panelists and moderators made the sessions fly by quickly, and kept the audience interested. Well done! Congratulations on another successful meeting!

We are closing our symposium with our annual scientific art show, where all proceeds this year will go to the East Harlem Health Outreach Partnership. Thank you for joining us these past two days, and we hope to see you again next year! And happy bday to Dr. Fayad! 🥳 #BMEII2024

Our final panel discussed the impact emerging medical technologies will have on patient care and how they can be integrated into existing health systems. Thank you Jagmeet Singh, Emily Capodilupo, Lisa Shah, Nicole Zahradka, and Walter Greenleaf for the talk. #BMEII2024
