Event Description
The Center for Health Incentives and Behavioral Economics (CHIBE) and the Palliative and Advanced Illness Research (PAIR) Center will host the Roybal Retreat at The Hershey Hotel on October 12-13, 2023.
Please note: this event is invitation-only.
We are excited to welcome Kenneth E. Freedland, PhD, FABCT, Professor of Psychiatry and Psychology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, as our keynote speaker this year. Dr. Freedland will be speaking about pilot trials in health-related behavioral intervention research: problems, solutions, and recommendations.
Our annual retreats provide an excellent opportunity to build and strengthen relationships, not just among the teams we work with day to day, but also across disciplines and institutions. We hope you will take this time to get to know new faculty and staff through the poster session and team building activities. And, if you’re on X, don’t forget to use #PennRoybal23 as you tweet about our program.
Thank you for being a part of this year’s retreat and for your commitment to the fields of behavioral economics, health, and serious illness care!
