Perinatal Conference and Women’s Health Update
The UAMS ANGELS and Center for Distance Health is putting on it’s annual Perinatal Conference at the Embassy Suites on September 25-27. This year it’s combined with the Women’s Health Update. Register here for the conference. It’s a jam-packed event with two talks by Dr. Joshua Dahlke, OB-GYN and lots of other great speakers and topics. The theme this year is “Comprehensive Care from A to Zzzzzzz.” Dr. Dahlke will speak on sleep issues in pregnancy as well as sleep issues with peri and postmenopausal women.
Telehealth Resource Center Mid-Year Retreat
As you might know, LearnTelehealth is also known as the South Central Telehealth Resource Center. As a “TRC” we partner with 13 other resource centers around the country to offer up telehealth education, resources and program-building expertise. Every year we meet in-person twice to share, plan and set goals for the coming months and years. This group is full of many brilliant people (present company excluded) so it’s really a great example of getting the smartest people in telehealth together in one room. We’ll keep you posted.
