AAEP announces 2018 convention keynote speakerSeptember 10, 2018Abraham Verghese, MD, educator and best-selling author, will share his keynote lecture, "A Doctor's Touch," at the American Association of Equine Practitioners' (AAEP) 2018 Convention in San Francisco. In his presentation, scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 2, Dr. Verghese will align equine medicine with human medicine and explain his vision of humanistic medicine—care-grounded medicine and the sanctity of the doctor-patient relationship. Verghese is the Linda R. Meier and Joan F. Lane Provostial Professor and Vice Chair for the Theory and Practice of Medicine at the Stanford University School of Medicine as well as a critically acclaimed author whose memoirs and novels have sold millions of copies, topped best-seller lists, and earned movie deals. In 2015, he received the National Humanities Medal from former U.S. president Barack Obama, "for reminding us that the patient is the center of the medical enterprise."
