Members of the press can apply for a press pass to attend the STAT Summit in person in Boston or online.

“American health care needs more than a wellness visit — it’s time for a full diagnostic workup. Join us for a deep dive into how science, technology, and politics are disrupting what it means to work in medicine or to be a patient or caregiver.

“The sessions will be ripped from the headlines, taken from courts and backrooms, from research laboratories and clinics. How can we really make an impact on chronic disease? How do we make sure we have a public health system that protects us? How do we deal with the ever-rising cost of medical treatment?

“We’ll look at the battles in Washington, at the latest breakthroughs working their way through pharmaceutical pipelines, and at how new technologies, including, especially, artificial intelligence can change the way we approach health care. Every discussion will be on-the-record, led by the most award-winning team in health journalism.”
