Journalism Summit on Infectious Disease

With more than 220,000 COVID-19 deaths in the United States – and with others deemed “recovered” but left with lingering maladies – health journalists can feel dazed in deciding which stories to pursue. AHCJ is here to help. Join us in the virtual Journalism Summit on Infectious Disease Nov. 16-19. Its series of sessions will be moderated by leading health journalists and will feature world-class experts.

With discussions about data resources, treatments and vaccine development, health workers and vulnerable populations, COVID-19 and influenza sharing a season, and more, you’ll leave recharged with scores of story ideas and resources to get them done.

Registered participants will be able to view recordings of the panels on the same day they take place and will have exclusive access to the sessions for the days and weeks following the summit.

There will be a presentation honoring the winners of the 2019 Awards for Excellence in Health Care Journalism.

Diversifying Genomic Research

This Inaugural Conference ushers in a series of 4 annual meetings on Transdisciplinary Ancestral Genomics Research Insights (TAGRI) proposed to help diversify the Reference Human Genome, demystify and address medical paradoxes in underrepresented populations.  Leaders will gather in the fields of ancestral genomics & genetics, biology, engineering, chemistry, physics, medicine, epidemiology, evolutionary history, bioinformatics, nutrition, advocacy, policy and other relevant fields to impact and share the benefits of new genomic research across ecological niches, to underrepresented populations. 

Health journalism saves lives.

Everyone should have access to quality health care information so they can make informed decisions. Join AHCJ today for exclusive access to training and education to inform your community.
