Public Health Approached & Practice in Complex Systems
Call for Abstracts extended until September 23rd!
Reminder to submit your nomination for the PHABC Board
We’re hiring an Administrative Officer for our Victoria Branch!
Thank you to everyone who submitted an abstract for our upcoming conference, “Simplifying Complexity: Public Health Approaches & Practice in Complex Systems,” happening November 14th and 15th, 2019 at the Sutton Place Hotel in downtown Vancouver. We’re excited to read about all the important work you have been doing for public health in BC and beyond!
For those of you who wanted to submit an abstract but life got in the way and the deadline passed. You’re in luck! We are pleased to announce that we have extended our call for abstracts until Monday September 23rd at 5pm PST. Act now to get yours in before the deadline, check out our website* to read the call and get yours in before time’s up!
Are you still on the fence about submitting an abstract and not sure about how your work links to complex adaptive systems or complexity science? Many public health issues are in fact complex in nature and therefore require complex solutions. If you work in population health, work with multiple stakeholders to address issues within your community, collaborate with various team members to achieve a goal, and/or have clients actively participating in public health initiatives then you are likely working within a complex system and we want to hear from you!
