In addition to physical therapist presenters, PASS speakers included: Joseph Kvedar, MD, director of the Center for Connected Health; Reuben Mezrich, MD, PhD, FACR, professor and chair, Department of Diagnostic Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, University of Maryland School of Medicine; W.

Giacin, MBA, MS, chairman and CEO of StemCyte Inc; Michael Weinrich, MD, director, National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research; Henry R. Desmarais, MD, MPA, principal, Health Policy Alternatives Inc; Ronald F. Dixon, MD, MA, director, Virtual Practice Project, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Department of Medicine, and associate medical director at MGH Beacon Hill Internal Medicine Associates, and Robert Siggins, chief of staff to Rep Earl Pomeroy (D-ND).
