“Medicine in the 21st Century and Beyond”
12:30pm-1:30pm
Medicine in the 21st century and beyond is not just about prescribing pills and performing procedures. Now more than ever, medical experts and consumers are combining traditional medicine with complementary medicine and focusing more on wellness and health, rather than just treating disease reactively. In this program, Dr. Bijoy Khandheria, Mayo Clinic cardiologist and lifelong yogi, will discuss how one can blend traditional and complementary approaches to maximize the prevention of disease and illness, and enhance the quality of life and health.
