What Dean Michael Bleich has to say about Ed O'Neil:

"Ed is a long-time friend of nursing and one of a very few non-nurses to be inducted into the American Academy of Nurses.  He is truly an outstanding educator and provocateur and his topic will be "Successfully Navigating the Age of Health Care Reform" through the lens of the health professions and health professions education. Ed has been invited to present at a number of White House forums in reference to health reform – so will bring a very "action-oriented" perspective to his lecture."
