SECOND NYU VIRTUAL PATIENT SEMINAR:

The Office of the Senior Vice Provost for Research is pleased
to announce the second in a series of seminars this fall on the
theme of the "Virtual Patient".  All interested faculty and
staff are welcome.

All talks are jointly hosted by the Courant Institute and the
School of Medicine, and will alternate between these two venues.
This next talk, to be held on Thursday, November 10 at 4pm,
will be held at the NYU School of Medicine.  Detailed directions
follow below.

The Virtual Patient (VP) is an initiative that uses simulation
and modeling of the patient, and of the interface between
doctor and patient, to help bridge the gap between medical
research and clinical practice.  VP research occupies interesting
territory already being explored by physicians, computer
scientists, psychologists, biologists, physicists, mathematicians,
educators and others.  The purpose of the series is to establish
common research goals and areas of concentration within the
university and to foster collaborations that will advance
research into these areas.

This second meeting, to be held on Thursday, November 10  in room
304 of the Coles building at the NYU School of Medicine, will consist
of four 20-25 minute talks beginning at 4pm, interspersed with informal
discussion.  The speakers at this first event will be Jean-Marc Gauthier
(Interactive Telecommunications Program, TSOA), Ken Perlin (Computer
Science, CIMS), Jan Plass (Educational Communication and Technology,
SSE) and Dr. Patrick Kelly (Neurosurgery, SOM).

Refreshments will be served, courtesy of the Office of
the Senior Vice Provost for Research.
