AHCJ rocked Cleveland!
More than 600 attendees gathered for Health Journalism 2016, where they heard from the U.S. surgeon general, the chief medical official for Veterans Affairs and NFL notables.
As always, conference attendees heard from – and interacted with – top-notch researchers, well-regarded educators, effective clinicians, prize-winning journalists and authors and many more experts on a vast array of health topics.
On Saturday, the luncheon speaker was Vice Admiral Vivek H. Murthy, M.D., the surgeon general of the United States. Another luncheon highlight was the recognition of journalists who did the best work of 2015, winners of the annual Awards for Excellence in Health Care Journalism. Many of those winners appeared on panels to share how they did their winning work.
