The conference theme is “Paradigm Shifts and Disruption -- the Impact of Globalized Healthcare”. Medical Tourism is a disruptive influence on established healthcare systems and should continue to change the dominant paradigm in providing medical care for many years. The conference will address a wide range of issues, including (but not limited to), these themes:
• Genesis & drivers of medical tourism
• Legal & ethical issues in medical tourism and the globalization of healthcare
• Assessments or evaluations of medical tourism practices (including accreditation)
• Operational issues in delivering globalized healthcare
• Marketing & consumer behavior in medical tourism
Researchers should address abstracts to the geographic track chairs listed below, with student papers going to the student track chair. Abstract submissions are due August 31, 2009 and will be peer reviewed by CMTR researchers and members of the extended academic community with a background in medical tourism research. For accepted research, final papers will be due November 13, 2009.
