cancer patients

Dr. Jonas has developed an implantable microdevice platform that measures therapeutic responses directly within living human tumors through localized microdosing. By integrating spatial pathology, multiplex imaging, transcriptomics, and other multimodal analyses, his platform accelerates translational cancer research, enables patient-specific therapeutic profiling, and generates largescale human datasets to advance precision oncology and drug discovery.

Join Huaqing Wang, PhD on Aug.19, from noon to 1 p.m., for an engaging exploration of greenspace morphology, the study of how the form, layout and connectivity of greenspaces affect health.

This session will highlight emerging evidence on how different spatial patterns of nature support physical and mental well‑being and will offer practical insights for applying morphology concepts in planning and public health. A Q&A session will follow, so bring your questions and curiosity!

After attending this webinar, participants will be able to:

1. Describe key concepts of greenspace morphology and explain how the spatial characteristics of greenspaces differ from conventional measures of greenspace quantity.
2. Evaluate current evidence on the relationships between greenspace morphology and physical and mental health outcomes across different populations.
3. Identify opportunities for application to incorporate greenspace morphology into urban planning, public health practice, and health‑promoting community design.

Since the original release of the 1991 guidelines, the research and treatment of metabolic and bariatric surgery has vastly expanded. Updates to criteria, thresholds, approved/endorsed procedures and devices, and considerations for comorbidities are not widely known or understood. The symposium offers the opportunity to bridge the knowledge gap for learners by disseminating these updates to learners who support bariatric patients in both the inpatient and outpatient settings.

In-Person and Virtual attendance options are available.

The 2026 JIMI Symposium is a full‑day, in‑person educational experience focused on the practical work of sustaining joy and professional fulfillment in today’s clinical and leadership environments.

Building on the momentum of the 2024 & 2025 symposiums, this year’s program is intentionally designed so that every session is not only engaging and meaningful, but also specific, practical, and directly applicable to everyday clinical and leadership work.

Why Attend?

Clinicians and health care leaders continue to face well‑documented challenges related to well‑being, leadership behaviors, practice environment design, and the responsible use of innovation and technology. The 2026 JIMI Symposium addresses these gaps by moving beyond high‑level inspiration to focus on how change actually happens in real clinical and health system settings.

Through plenary conversations, applied strategy spotlights, role‑based interactive labs, and interprofessional discussion, participants will explore evidence‑informed approaches and leave with concrete tools and strategies they can use immediately within their own teams, roles, and practice environments.

The symposium emphasizes translation from insight to action—equipping participants with clear frameworks, tested practices, and leadership behaviors that can be implemented within real‑world clinical, operational, and organizational constraints.

Course Overview:

There is a demographic shift in the U.S. towards an older population. This “gray tsunami” will disproportionately affect ophthalmology as a specialty because our top disorders are diseases of the elderly (age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), glaucoma and cataracts). Geriatric ophthalmic patients are not simply “older adults”; they have unique responses to treatment and disease and may have co-morbidities that impact diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. Moreover, elderly patients may require the expertise of several health professionals from diverse disciplines who have experience in dealing with specific geriatric syndromes. Increasing geriatric expertise among ophthalmologists and primary care specialists while promoting competent, compassionate care of elderly patients is imperative.

This activity seeks to address the needs of the geriatric patient population by arming providers with the necessary information on topics such as diabetic retinopathy, ARMD, cataracts, glaucoma, low-vision, as well as related co-morbidities (e.g., depression, dementia, hearing loss, function loss, driving and elder abuse). There is an insufficient number of geriatricians to meet the demographic shift, and individual specialty providers, generalists and allied health personnel will be required to have expertise in geriatric domains within their areas of service in order to provide care that is optimal, cost effective and safe.

Target Audience:

Ophthalmologists, optometrists, geriatricians, internists, family practitioners, residents, fellows, physician assistants, registered nurses, advanced practice nurse practitioners and healthcare professionals with an interest in geriatric ophthalmology.
