Our team is now working with @MayoClinic to develop a new #VR program to help manage symptoms of menopause. We published this new paper with expert colleagues at Mayo, including @cshufeltMD @StephFaubionMD describing the rationale: https://t.co/cCQ7461HfE

I wrote this in a 2017 tweet on lessons learned working with #HealthTech, and believe it still applicable today, perhaps more than ever.

A dear friend & current MSHS grad student @CedarsSinai, whom I’ve had the privilege of working with over the years, has tragically lost his home in the recent wildfires. My heart goes out to him and all affected. To support him, please visit his GoFundMe: https://t.co/zdnuaZtK7h

A full house here at The Menopause Meeting in Chicago where I just gave a talk on #VR in medicine and women’s health. A great audience with excellent questions. Thanks to @MenopauseOrg for the invite!

[Brennan Spiegel, MD, MSHS @BrennanSpiegel]

Setting up the grand ballroom here in Chicago where I’ll be giving the keynote address this morning at the @MenopauseOrg Meeting. I’ll discuss our exciting new collaboration between @CedarsSinai and @MayoClinic to develop a drug-free #VR/#AI therapeutic for #menopause symptoms.

[Lisa Gualtieri @lisagualtieri]

I am developing the new course on #AI in #Medicine that will be added to @CedarsSinai Master of Science in Health Systems. My start to the class is giving each student a fictitious $10,000 to invest in AI companies; in the final class, we'll see whose portfolio is most valuable.

[Brennan Spiegel, MD, MSHS @BrennanSpiegel]

So happy to have @lisagualtieri join our grad school faculty at #CedarsSinai. Today, she is teaching our students how to pick a meaningful, impactful, and personally fulfilling research project. Great talk!
