Diabetes: Solutions for the 21st Century



The above event notification made it to my inbox again. Check it out:

Diabetes has moved into center-stage in health policy both in the United States and around the world, with its combination of lifestyle and social factors and enhanced levels of minority incidence. Policymakers face daunting challenges that span traditional public health concerns and many other disciplines. How do we best reduce the impact of diabetes while ensuring fairness to groups at high risk, and advancing local and global health objectives?

To address these issues, the Center for Diabetes Research and Policy at Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) is hosting a conference that brings together some of the key voices in our discussion of the chronic disease of the 21st century. This conference will draw on experts from across the disciplines to review latest developments in research, clinical practice and public policylinks, with a focus on health economics approaches and ethical implications. RSVP to diabetes@kentlaw.edu to secure your place.

The event will be moderated by Nigel M. de S. Cameron, Ph.D., associate dean and research professor; Intervention, Cost and Ethics Project, IIT Center for Diabetes Research and Policy.


The event is free: RSVPs required. Lunch will be provided and there will be a catered reception after the conference.
