Teaching Prevention Webinar: Strategies for Bringing Prevention to the Classroom

E-mail Print
The paradigm is shifting. Future health leaders must go beyond treating disease and injury; they must understand how to prevent it in the first place. Prevention Institute invites you to join us for a unique webinar sharing strategies for infusing prevention thinking into diverse curricula—from public health and policy to medicine.

Teaching Prevention Webinar

Tuesday, March 22

12pm-1:15pm PST

The hosts, along with presenter Vivian Chavez, are editors of Prevention is Primary: Strategies for Community Well-Being, the highly successful public health textbook co-published by Wiley/Jossey-Bass and APHA, now in its second edition. The panel's combined experience in prevention training, curricular development, and teaching will provide you with the tools to build the case for primary prevention and incorporate it into your courses. You will be able to engage future health leaders and build their capacity to think of solutions that solve multiple problems.

What is a Webinar?
