We are proud to announce that Drexel’s School of Public Health in collaboration with Resources for Cross Cultural Health Care, and the federal Office of Minority Health are sponsoring the Sixth National Conference on Quality Health Care for Culturally Diverse Populations from September 21-24, 2008 in Minneapolis, MN. We encourage you to learn more about the conference at www.DiversityRxConference.org.
In addition, we invite you to submit a presentation proposal for the 2008 conference. The call for proposals is open until January 31, 2008. All details are available online at www.DiversityRxConference.org.
This meeting attracts over 600 attendees from North America and around the world. It features over 150 presentations during pre-conference intensive training sessions, plenary panels, roundtable sessions, and concurrent workshops, as well as a film festival and a resource center with poster presentations and exhibits.
The theme for the Sixth National Conference will be “Partnerships for the future: Supporting practitioners and advancing the field through innovation, policy and research.” Starting with a look at the national and global trends in health care and immigration, the conference will use plenary sessions, workshops and moderated dialogues with conference participants to:
Address the needs and concerns that affect day-to-day practice of culturally appropriate care at the clinical, organizational and community level
Develop a vision for advancing the field
Continue the integration of cultural competence/disparity reduction in mainstream health care priorities.
Please visit the website to learn more about the conference theme and objectives, supporters, registration fees and hotel accommodations. The Call for Presentation Proposals is until January 31.
We look forward to seeing you in Minneapolis in September.
