TEDxNEOMED returns to campus 6-9 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 21, in Watanakunakorn Auditorium. Attendance is limited to 100 guests. Tickets are available for $20.
The theme of this year’s program is The Art of Medicine: The Craft, Connection and Culture of Healing. Treatments, medications and surgeries are an important aspect of the ever-expanding field of medicine, but what is required to apply these therapies?

TEDx events are local gatherings where live TED-like talks and performances are shared with the community. TEDx events are fully planned and coordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis. The content and design of each TEDx event is unique and developed independently, but all of them have features in common.
The TEDxNEOMED event was planned by a team of students, including:
Mark D'Agosta, M4, lead organizer/president
Deepasari Ananth, M4, curation chair
Mark Sobnoski, M.D. (’23), curator
Lance Reidenbach, M.D. (’23), curator
Samuel Accordino, M2, curator
Amanda Milo, M2, curator
Natalie Ganios, M4, event chair - treasurer
