2010 ARM: Students
The ARM brings together health services researchers, providers, and key decision makers to address the critical challenges confronting the health care delivery system. Students and new professionals have the opportunity to meet senior-level professionals as well as interact with their peers, making important connections that will last throughout their careers.
Presentation
