NOWDiagnostics is excited to invite everyone to visit us at this year's NMAC Biomedical HIV Prevention Summit (BHPS)!
This will be the 10th anniversary of the BHPS, and we couldn't be more proud to be part of this revolutionary approach to HIV education and prevention.
This year’s theme, “The Syndemic Approach—Strengthening the HIV and Public Health Workforce” centers the clinical, community, and broader public health workforce as key partners in the effort to improve overall health among HIV affected communities and communities with the poorest health outcomes.
What is a syndemic? Simply put: Synergy + Epidemic = Syndemic.
Using systems thinking, syndemic and whole-person theory, and organizational development and management strategies, the Summit will serve as a training and recruitment hub that strengthens the technical and leadership skills of the clinical, community, and public health workforce, as well as a pipeline to recruit new public and global health professionals.
In addition to the syndemic approach, there will also be heavy focus on Implementation Science.
What is implementation science?
A public health research term, “implementation science” is the scientific study of methods and strategies that facilitate the uptake of evidence-based practice and research into regular use by practitioners and policymakers.
By providing an in-depth exploration of these efforts and challenges, the Summit aims to prepare its audience for ongoing and future work needed to end the HIV epidemic.
Ultimately, the goal is for all of us to work together as a community, scientifically, strategically, and holistically, to help eradicate HIV.
We'll be in Booth #312, in the Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile.
We can't wait to see you there!
