Newport Beach Home of Shirley Pepys -- address to be sent to attendees
Some futurists claim a child born today may live to be 200+ years old and live in a world of fully replaceable body parts. Is that realistic, and what would that economic and social world look like? We'll hear from UC Irvine School of Medicine
Dean Ralph Clayman who will begin by telling us how he and his colleagues are revolutionizing the way medicine is taught, from digital wireless platforms such as the iPad to high tech, high touch diagnostic equipment that mimics symptoms, reactions and results. Following a member Q&A session, Dean Clayman will join us in a discussion about participatory, proactive, predictive, personalized medicine, and what are the costs and what are the advantages of continuing to develop these advancements. Hear Dean Clayman’s thoughts and contribute your own on what may be best for the future of society.

We’ll also explore The Virtual Dementia Tour®, a Dementia simulation tool kit created for anyone seeking to understand the physical and mental challenges of those with Dementia. It is a scientifically proven method designed to build sensitivity and awareness in individuals caring for those with Dementia.
