The 2004 Health Administration Section's Program Planner Committee has been working diligently to bring you quality scientific sessions for presentation at the 132nd Annual Public Health National Convention and Exposition to be held on November 6-10, 2004 in Washington, D.C. We are delighted to be able to share with you some exceptional state-of-the-art oral sessions and some intriguing special invited sessions.
During this year's call for abstracts, a total of 219 abstracts were submitted, of which 207 were accepted for presentation, 11 were rejected, and one was incomplete. We are pleased to announce that out of 207 accepted, 170 will be presented as oral sessions, and 37 will be presented as poster sessions. We invite you to register and attend as many of the oral presentations as possible. The Poster Sessions will be held in the Exhibit Hall and we encourage you to view the posters on display and ask questions of the speakers.
The oral sessions will include some very dynamic and interesting topics. There will also be sessions on Obesity, Public Health Workforce, Quality, Managed Care, Planning, Leadership, Cultural Competence, Environment, Educational, Information Technology, Emergency Preparedness and much more.
