Teaching Prevention 2021 To Go Virtual

Call for Oral and Poster Abstracts Coming Fall 2020

APTR has been closely monitoring the rapid escalation of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, as well as the impact to academic programs. The health and safety of Teaching Prevention attendees and the students, patients, and communities they serve is our highest priority. Therefore, after careful consideration and deliberation, APTR has made the decision to hold Teaching Prevention 2021 in a virtual format. APTR was fortunate to be able to hold Teaching Prevention 2020 in-person immediately before the shutdown. While we will miss not being together in-person, we are taking best practices from those organizations who went virtual to build a dynamic 2021 meeting.
 
While additional information will be released in the coming months, we can say that Teaching Prevention 2021 will feature a call for oral and poster abstracts to be released in the fall, along with Keynote presentations, and networking opportunities. The conference will spread out over several days to focus on the knowledge, skills, collaborations, and resources needed to teach, practice, and promote population health improvement.

​Teaching Prevention gathers faculty from medicine, public health, and other health professions to focus on the knowledge, skills, collaborations, and resources needed to teach, practice, and promote population health improvement. The academic prevention community will explore initiatives and share efforts across institutions, disciplines, and professions to advance innovative teaching, research, practice and evaluation in prevention science.​​

​​Attendees

• Faculty at medical, public health, and health professions schools 
• Department chairs from preventive medicine/population health 
• Program directors from public health programs 
• Students
