This was a short but interesting read, even if just to see the takeaway they had from visiting a conference of a completely different field. They had the same impression I've had from attending some hardcore-engineer conferences that haven't been exposed to much graphic design or startup culture.

I would've loved to hear more of the reverse though, if the design folks learned any insights from talking to the medical residents, or if they saw some obvious, glaring flaws in how the more design-centric folks approached things.
