The 2013 USPHS Scientific & Training Symposium invites you to submit an abstract for presentation at the Symposium, which will be held May 21-23 at the Renaissance in Glendale, Arizona. The theme for the 2013 Symposium is “Public Health Prevention and Care: Bridging the Gaps.” The deadline for abstract submissions is November 28, 2012.
The focus of the Symposium is on the use of the National Prevention Strategy in working with communities and stakeholders at the local, state, Tribal, national and international level to address health disparities among border, cross cultural and at-risk populations. The objectives of the Plenary and Track sessions at the Symposium will be on bridging the knowledge gaps needed to improve the health and quality of life for at-risk populations by moving the focus of healthcare from sickness and disease to prevention and wellness.
