Conference Features
In addition to the 4 plenary and 16 workshop sessions
summarized in this report, the Rural Women's Health
Conference featured a series of poster presentations.
Breaks during the conference were extended to provide
participants with extra time to browse the poster
presentations and talk to the presenters. Topics included
cancer outreach, intimate partner violence, oral health
strategies, using the Internet for health care and education,
ayurveda and yoga, avoiding burnout, and more. Other
conference features included the opportunity to earn
continuing education credits through the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and a photo
contest.
The first round of the photo contest was held online in
the months leading up to the conference. The contest
featured two categories—rural health and rural life. Using
the conference Web site, a panel convened by OWH voted
to determine the pool of 20 finalists. These 20 photos
were displayed during the first 2 days of the conference.
Conference participants voted to determine the winners,
who were announced on the third and final day of the
conference. Photos from both the winners and finalists are
featured throughout this report.
This report also includes a summary of the conference
evaluation. In addition, a list of the Conference Planning
Committee is included in Appendix A and the complete
Conference Participant List is included in Appendix B.
