Jefferson, HUP, Hahnemann, Temple, CHOP—Philly is undeniably a medical town. And while our landscape of top doctors, researchers, institutions and hospitals helps shape the medical community and conversation around the world, its growth and innovation also leave an indelible mark locally—on employment, the economy, real estate and much more.

Next month, at Philly Mag’s ThinkFest, Ezekiel Emanuel, head of medical ethics and health policy at Penn, will lead a discussion with Thomas Jefferson University president and CEO Stephen Klasko and CHOP CEO Steven Altschuler on how institutions here are reinventing medicine, and how out-of-the-box thinking is leading to programs and ideas that are shaking up the ed/med establishment for good.

Join us on November 14th at Drexel’s LeBow College of Business for a day of the city’s smartest people sharing their biggest ideas. Read all of our ThinkFest 2014 previews here, and watch the livestream, starting at 9 a.m. on Friday November 14th.
