The Public Health Club presents a special program to recognize National Public Health Awareness - April 12

4/11/2011 (Archived)

The Public Health Club presents a special program to recognize National Public Health Awareness on Tuesday, April 12, 5-7 p.m. in the Cafeteria.

Guest speakers include Dr. Monica Smith, of the Palmer Center For Chiropractic Research, and 2003 West alumnus Dr. Andrew Cohen, director of ProActive Chiropractic in San Francisco (www.proactivesf.com). Dr. Smith, who also is affiliated with the UCSF Institute for Health Policy Studies, will discuss, “Public Health ... Adverse Drug events ... And Chiropractors: What’s the Connection?” Dr. Cohen, a past National SACA chair who also served as national student rep for the chiropractic section of the American Public Health Association, will discuss how his involvement with APHA, SACA and other chiropractic associations helped prepare him for practice — and why he continues to say involved nearly 10 years later. The program will conclude with a Q&A panel session with the two guest speakers.

This special program will also feature complimentary refreshments (courtesy of Chutney Restaurant, with locations in San Francisco and Fremont), so please make sure to sign up in advance: at the Public Health Club table on Club Day (April 8), or the sheet posted on the Public Health Club bulletin board. Watch for details regarding other Public Health Club activities planned for the spring quarter.

For additional information, contact Public Health Club officers Beth Wisniewski (7Q), Deborah Mann (3Q), or Raheel Mann (11Q).
