As well, in collaboration with an interdisciplinary George Mason University team, we are developing a health communication campaign - 'Share CBT-I.'  Our aim is to assist healthcare professionals to convey to health consumers 'what works' for insomnia and where to find it (e.g., Insomnia Hub,  CBT Hub).

We are an online non profit Community of Practice (oCoP), in the spirit of the Free Open Access Medical (FOAM) education movement.

The Fairfax campus is the administrative home to many of the universities academic units including: College of Education and Human Development (CEHD), College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CSSS), College of Health and Human Services (CHHS), College of Science (COS), School of  Visual and Performing Arts (CVPA), School of Management (SOM), and Volgenau School of Engineering (VSE).  The Fairfax campus also is home for university-wide administrators at Merten Hall, Student Centers including SUB 1, The Hub, and Johnson Centers, the Field House, Eagle Bank Arena,  and the Center for Performing Arts.

The main conference will feature competitive papers, posters and panel sessions covering not only issues related to the conference theme of “Patient-Centered Health Communication” but also to broadly defined concerns across a breadth of topics relevant to health communication research and practice.

The conference reception Friday evening will be held in a lovely outdoor setting to offer participants an opportunity to relax after a full day of work. Saturday, April 29th will continue additional competitive paper and panel sessions and will conclude with a luncheon keynote presentation by the winner of The Charles Atkin Award for Outstanding Translational Health Communication Scholar.
