We are seeking a range of formats including panel presentations, podium talks, experiential training, facilitated work sessions, or small group discussions, but have a preference for experiential training and other interactive approaches.

teams, care coordination workflows• Core Competencies - e.g., trauma-informed care, reducing stigma toward complex populations,
