The section welcomes abstracts and suggestions for sessions related to the conference theme and administration, management and leadership of public health programs. All sectors including academia, public, not for profit and private entities are encouraged to submit abstracts. Abstracts should focus on issues of administration, policies, and management of agencies, divisions or programs, or leadership. The emphasis is on action or cutting edge activities. Implications of the research, evaluation, reflection, or description are appropriate. Simple procedural descriptions of one program in one setting without explicit consideration of the transportability and applicability of lessons learned are not of interest to this Section. Scientific investigations without accompanying reflection on the implication for action may fit better with other sections. Reflections on failures are of interest, as are presentations with multiple points of view. Pre-submission doubts about acceptability are best handled by phone with the program co-chairs. If you are proposing multiple presenters/papers for a session (i.e. a session proposal), you should consult with the program co-chairs before submission. Below are a few examples of session topics:
- A Platform for Technology in Healthcare
- Access to care
