About the Meeting
The 33rd Annual Meeting and Scientific Sessions will focus on Engaging New Partners and Perspectives. As our outstanding speakers address such topics as genetics, genomics and behavioral medicine, cancer, obesity, cardiovascular health, health policy, health information and communication, and career development, they will focus on ways to develop innovative partnerships and embrace new and even differing perspectives. Four highly-attended poster sessions and myriad paper sessions allow students at all levels as well as researchers, practitioners, and policy advocates from such disciplines as psychology, nursing, medicine, and public health to freely exchange ideas and build networks.
