Join us for a talk with Dr. Michael Rich, Associate Professor of
Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, Associate Professor of Social
and Behavioral Science at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public
Health, and a practitioner of Adolescent Medicine at Boston
Children’s Hospital. After graduating college, Rich worked as a
former filmmaker in Japan for twelve years where he worked with
director Akira Kurosawa (a Luce Scholarship sent him to Japan as an
apprentice and assistant director) and then to Hollywood where he
worked as a "script doctor". He became frustrated with writing scripts
"by committee" and wanted to have a positive impact on the world. This
led him to pre-med training and then medical school. As The
Mediatrician®, Dr. Rich offers research-based, balanced and practical
answers to parents’, teachers’, and clinicians’ questions about
children’s media use and the positive and negative implications for
their health and development. Dr. Rich will share how to encourage the
children in your life to imagine, play, and think outside of the
screen. Doors will open at 6:45 PM.
