2nd Annual Refugee Health Conference
Time: 8:00am to 3:30pm
Location: The Gathering Place, Clarksville, MD
Event is FREE; Registration is required
This program is directed to the professional staff involved in refugee health screening and resettlement. We strongly encourage representation from all health departments, as both new and established refugee populations are increasingly settling outside the major metropolitan areas of Maryland. Topics include:
- The changing epidemiology of recently arrived refugees in Maryland
- Health requirements for Adjustment of Status
- Overview of overseas outbreaks at refugee camps
- Internationally-acquired parasitic infections: new guidelines for screening and follow-up
- Refugee mental health
Speakers will be from the United States Citizenship and Immigrations Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and many others. A continental breakfast and lunch will be served. Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be provided to all attendees through Howard County Community College.
