IN A SYMPOSIUM OF LEARNING ADVENTURES

The Ebola scare this past year, the heroin epidemic in the northeast, the
vaccine controversy, and the surprisingly high U.S. infant mortality rate
heightened awareness of our precarious public health. How can a

simulations provide inroads to solve these critical problems? Join a group
of stellar game and simulation designers and public health experts in a
dynamic hands-on exploration of creative problem solving symposium.
