For Health Care Providers

POPULAR KEYNOTES

WORKSHOPS

One warm, autumn Ann Arbor day in 1964, Terri Atkin walked down concrete steps into the original University of Michgan Hospital. She wore a scratchy, blue seersucker uniform complete with pinafore and carried a frenetic flock of butterflies in her stomach. Terri has been in health care ever since--a psych nurse, an instructor, a researcher, a clinical nurse specialist, a speaker, a consultant and a patient. Terri not only brings a wealth of experience and a broad perspective to her work, but also knows first hand what motivates and frustrates providers. Having served far too much time in a hospital gown during the cancer years, Terri is especially eager to share a patient's point of view with providers like those who helped save her life.
