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.
