Call for Posters

Cummings Graduate Institute for Behavioral Health Studies invites students, providers, clinicians, managers, educators, and organizations to share their ideas, achievements, and research with the integrated care community at our upcoming 2018 integrated healthcare conference, The 5 C’s of Integrated Healthcare: Care, Collaboration, Cost, Community, & Culture, taking place in Phoenix, Arizona, March 8-10, 2018.

The ideal poster submission expresses a novel and applicable idea in a simple, concise manner. Posters are also particularly well-suited for showcasing student work and ideas that are still in progress, provided that such submissions have enough substance to add to what is known or what is being done in integrated settings to make improvements that matter to people.
