#PHSI23 Think Pieces
PHABC’s 13th annual Public Health Summer Institute is focused on two separate topics split into two days. Learn more about them through our think pieces.
Day 1: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Population Health:
A Beginner’s Guide
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly advancing field with the power to revolutionize various sectors, including healthcare and public health. This introductory session aims to provide beginners with an overview of AI technologies and their potential impact on population health. We will also discuss the challenges and ethical considerations associated with AI, emphasizing the importance of inclusivity and equity in addressing them.

Day 2: Healthy Aging and Digital Equity
Healthy aging is a central public health concern for society as a whole and specific populations that suffer from health inequities. The imperative derives, in part, from the usual worries about aging demographics and pressure on health and social care systems that will inevitably threaten their sustainability.
Advocates for promoting the health of older adults often state that the proportion of aging adults is not cause for concern. Rather, the issue is the poor profile of older adults and the sever inequities faced by certain sub-populations of older adults.
Beyond these systemic reasons for prioritizing healthy aging, we know that older adults can enjoy life and flourish in their later years, if they are supported to live healthily and independently.

About PHABC’s Summer Institute
Over the last thirteen years, the summer institute has provided excellent opportunities for continuing education and professional development.
The event provides a unique evidence-based program where participants can actively learn, evaluate and test the principles of the curriculum through keynote presentations, best practice examples and case studies, team building exercises, and hands-on activities.
We strive to bring together public health professionals who work directly or indirectly with public health issues across numerous social service sectors and help to foster innovative solutions to the identified issues.
