Conference Description :
Topics to be covered will include updates in a broad range of diseases that disproportionately affect vulnerable patients, such as diabetes, Hepatitis C, HIV, depression, PTSD, heart failure, and hypertension. In addition, we discuss how clinicians can address social factors that complicate the management of medical illness, such as low health literacy, intimate partner violence, food insecurity, etc. We will also tackle how best to integrate behavioral health care for patients with chronic pain, severe mental illness, substance use and complex post-traumatic stress. Each day we will feature a nationally renowned figure in the field of the care of vulnerable populations who will deliver pearls and impart wisdom with respect to how to stay engaged, connected, and inspired.
Conference Objectives are :
• Implement an approach to effectively integrate social vulnerability and resilience into clinical care.
