Achieving Health Equity through Access, Advocacy, Treatment, and Policy Development
March 6-8, 2012 :: New Orleans, Louisiana
Xavier University of Louisiana College of Pharmacy's Center for Minority Health and Health Disparities Research and Education (CMHDRE) will host its Fifth Health Disparities Conference March 6-8, 2012 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Conference participants will include clinicians (pharmacists, nurses, physician assistants, and other allied health professionals), health policy makers, health educators, and public and community health leaders whose work incorporates the use of mid-level providers to build partnerships to eliminate health disparities and improve health equity.
This conference titled, Achieving Health Equity through Access, Advocacy, Treatment, and Policy Development, will include discussions on successful multidisciplinary models for improved health systems outcomes. Previous conference attendee evaluations indicated that the abstract podium presentations enhanced the effectiveness of the conference and helped to stimulate discussions surrounding effective clinical strategies, basic science, health policy and research disciplines, and most importantly, the significant role of mid-level providers and interdisciplinary collaborations. Our planning committee will continue to build on this momentum as we develop content for the 2012 Conference.
We invite your submission of abstracts to be considered for poster and podium presentations. Abstracts should be submitted no later than Friday, January 13, 2012. >>more information on abstract submissions<<
We look forward to your continued support of programming from the CMHDRE!
Sincerely,
Kathleen B. Kennedy, PharmD - Program Chair
