OHSU Innovates Speaker Series: Pandemic Lessons
- Location
- Online/Zoom
Join this hour-long Zoom discussion from 12 -1pm hosted by the Oregon Bioscience Incubator.
The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the limits of traditional workplace mental health approaches and created an urgent need for innovative, evidence-based solutions.
Learn from Leslie Hammer, PhD, professor and director of the Oregon Healthy Workforce Center, and Erin Flynn, PhD, director of outreach operations at the Oregon Institute of Occupational Health Sciences, as they discuss how they are translating occupational health research into practical, scalable tools and getting these innovations into the hands of organizations and leaders who need them.
There is no cost to participate, but registration is required.
The OHSU Innovates Speaker Series explores the broad range of perspectives that shape innovation efforts. Through engaging stories and interactive sessions, the series examines the factors that influence participation and opportunity in innovation. Open to scientists, clinicians, professionals, and students from OHSU and beyond, it offers a platform for learning, networking, and contributing to a more connected and forward-thinking innovation community.
