Dear Colleague:
On behalf of the Xavier University College of Pharmacy's Center for Minority Health & Health Disparities, we are pleased to invite you to attend and participate in the Fourth Health Disparities Conference to convene March 27-29, 2011 at the Sheraton New Orleans Hotel in New Orleans, La.
We are soliciting abstracts for oral and poster presentation. More specifically, we seek scientific and/or informative abstracts that reflect the focus of the conference. This year's conference will focus on replicable multidisciplinary collaborative models and approaches from the clinical, research, and community arenas that integrate all levels of providers to improve health outcomes and eliminate health disparities. Selected abstracts will be presented during poster sessions or oral presentations during concurrent scientific sessions. Further, authors for limited abstracts will be given an opportunity to prepare an article for publication in a leading journal.
The planning committee looks forward to welcoming you to New Orleans to share your experiences and knowledge. We also hope you will have time to enjoy our city and what it has to offer!
For the Committee,
Leonard Jack, Jr., PhD, MSc, CHES
