Public Health Systems Research Audioconference

The recent Gulf Coast hurricanes once again brought to light the importance of having a strong public health system. With support from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, AcademyHealth will host two interactive audioconferences that address the use of accreditation measures and evidence-based research in developing an effective public health system. These 90-minute audioconferences bring together leading experts in public health systems research to discuss:
