Public Health & Disasters 2017

OVERVIEW
Description:
The Public Health and Disasters Conference focuses specifically on disasters impacting or within the public health system – this means that rather than only focusing on public health, it includes the other key components of the system including emergency management, emergency medical services, health care, hospitals and the rest of the public health system. The conference is comprised of renowned keynote speakers along with practical learning and sharing sessions and it’s smaller size means that there is more time to engage, share and network with colleagues and speakers from across the country. From great food and social events like the annual ‘Dinner and a Disaster Movie’ highlight, to scientific and practical learning sessions, this conference provides exactly what you’re looking for in an emergency public health conference.

Learning Objectives:

The conference seeks to provide public health professionals with the opportunity to exchange ideas and concepts that will improve emergency public health preparedness in their local community and promote open dialogue between local health departments and agencies.

Target Audience:

Public Health and Disasters is designed for public health professionals and individuals from private and public organizations that may be involved in public health emergency preparedness and response. An array of diverse topics will be covered that are pertinent to public health and medical practitioners, emergency medical professionals, researchers, and managers who are involved in policy and implementation.
