Presentations and discussions will also explore ways in which these models might be advanced globally to better achieve the social mission of the health professions and to explore their relevance and potential application in the United States.

This global workshop, to be held at the Rockefeller's Bellagio Center in Italy, will convene experts in the areas of women's empowerment/ development, health systems' capacity building, social enterprise and finance, and nursing and midwifery. The committee will organize and conduct the workshop, select and invite speakers, and moderate sessions at the workshop. Following the conclusion of the workshop, an individually authored summary of the presentations and discussions will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
