Upcoming Medical Conferences in Santa Clara

The Global Nurses: Caring For The Global Community is organized by National Nurses United (NNU) and will be held on Jul 12, 2019 at Santa Clara Marriott, Santa Clara, California, United States of America. This Conference has been approved for a maximum of 6 CEHs. Course Description: As a nurse, maybe you work in the same community in which you were born and raised. Or, maybe you’ve traveled to your current facility from another neighborhood, another state, or another region of the world. In all these cases, nurses reflect the communities they care for. As patient populations become increasingly diverse, nurses combine on-the-ground community knowledge with the global perspective that’s needed to care for their patients. This course will examine the role of RNs as global citizens. We will investigate how the nursing profession responds to an international “crisis of care” by pitting the values advocacy and compassion against the exploitative systems their patients face every day. From a historical standpoint, we will explore the ethical challenges and solutions that nurses have faced since the inception of the profession. We will also draw more modern comparisons between RNs and other global caring professions in order to understand how nurses are part of a broader struggle for care, health equity, and justice. Course Objectives: Upon completion of this class, participants will be able to: • Identify how global migration patterns shape patient and caregiver communities. • Explain how the nursing profession responds to the needs of a global crisis in care. • Enumerate the social and economic conditions faced by over 19 million nurses across the globe. • Articulate why the public holds trust and faith in nurses and how nurse ethics can continue to foster confidence in the profession. • Describe the connections between RNs and other care professionals who form a global movement for care justice.

9th Annual Integrative Medicine for the Underserved Conference: Solidarity & Self-Care - Supporting Social Justice and Balance in Integrative Health is organized by Integrative Medicine for the Underserved (IM4US) and will be held from Aug 22 - 24, 2019 at Santa Clara University, Santa Clara, California, United States of America. Target Audience: IM4US strives to be an inclusive community that embraces diversity and welcomes all individuals caring for the underserved, especially those from under-represented healing professions or backgrounds. Health care providers, healers, researchers, public health workers, policy analysts, students, administrators, patients, and community members are warmly encouraged to attend and to submit a proposal. Conference Theme: Solidarity & Self-Care - Supporting Social Justice and Balance in Integrative Health The conference aims to examine the inextricable connections between social justice, health equity and the delivery of quality integrative health care for the underserved. This is an opportunity to learn innovative practical strategies for providing care for the underserved while addressing the social determinants of health. We will explore ways to support providers and advocates in achieving balance between managing their own self-care while striving to provide care in an under-resourced and increasingly fast-paced health care environment. In solidarity, we will work to close the gap in health equity and find our way back to wellness for ourselves, our communities, and the most vulnerable in our society. Conference Description: This Conference will continue to explore integrative modalities through the lenses of both provider competencies and infrastructure for addressing social determinants of health. Of special focus this year, we explore self-care, which is a challenge for providers serving the underserved and for those we serve. This conference seeks to explore our commonalities, and share solutions that we have found in our own practices and communities. In solidarity, we will heal and find our way back to wellness together. Join us for an experiential learning opportunity and return home with deliverable skills and knowledge for those who need them most as well as those of us who serve them. Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
