Winter 2003 -- Volume 34, Number 1 |
Mark your calendar! Don't forget to watch "Wired Communities: Putting the e in Public Health," a national satellite teleconference and webcast. It will be broadcast from 11:00 am to noon PT (2:00 to 3:00 pm ET.) on January 31, 2003. The best part is you don't need to leave your desk to watch it! More about that later.
The ability to communicate easily and efficiently and the exchange of information are vital components of the public health infrastructure and contribute to an improved public health practice. "Wired Communities" will "describe an electronic community network[Blacksburg, Virginia], identify three informatics competencies that are key to success in establishing and maintaining an electronic community network, identify three ways in which an electronic community network promotes the overall health and well being of the community, and describe the National Library of Medicine's (NLM) role in providing electronic resources to the local public health workforce and their community partners." Presenters include Angela Ruffin, Head of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine Office at NLM and Patrick O'Carroll, MD, Regional Health Administrator for Public Health Service Region X in Seattle, Washington.
Now, the part about not leaving your desk; you can watch the
program as a webcast if you have a few essentials: an Internet
connection, speakers and RealPlayer. You can download RealPlayer,
if you don't already have it, from http://www.real.com/player/
You will also need to register for the program and get a
participant ID. This is so easy to do by going to the Web site
for Public Health Grand Rounds at http://www.publichealthgrandrounds.unc.edu/wired/
and clicking on Participant
Registration.
This program is presented by Public Health Grand Rounds, a
project sponsored by the University of North Carolina School of
Public Health and the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention.
