Learning objectives are needed as a standing APHA requirement and consideration for CHES contact hours. Incomplete abstracts cannot be reviewed. Authors who wish to have multiple abstracts considered as one session MUST take the following steps: submit each abstract individually through the online system, note the assigned abstract number for each paper, send an email to healthprof@insightbb.com with the title of your session, numbers for each of the abstracts and any other relevant information. Without these steps, all abstracts will be considered as individual submissions. Please note that in order to provide as full a program as possible, PHEHP does NOT generally accept full sessions related to a single project.
