The intent of the National Conference on Correctional Health Care is to share the
most innovative developments, treatment practices and case studies with
our attendees. Only with your participation can we make this
happen.
You will be sent guidelines and forms to ensure your presentation is in keeping with national continuing
education standards. If you have any questions, please contact
