Future of Public Health Symposium
The first of a series of panel discussions titled "The Future of
Public Health: A Millennial Symposium" will take place on Thursday,
April 13 from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the Snyder Auditorium. The topic
is "Early Life Determinants of Health and Well-being: The Importance
of Early Childhood for Global Public Health." Dean Barry Bloom will
host. "What is novel about this symposium is that we can think more
globally about health and morbidity," said Stephen Buka, associate
professor in the Departments of Maternal and Child Health and Epidemiology.
"What can we do early in life to lessen the burden of illness across
the lifespan?" The next panel discussion planned is "Challenges
in Epidemiology for the New Millennium" on Thursday, May 4.
