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 should have received guidelines and forms
that will help to ensure your presentation is in keeping with national continuing
education standards. If you haven't, please contact
Deborah Ross, director of meetings.
• Demonstrate an understanding of correctional health care issues, including
quality of care, access to care, financial management and workforce
development
• Identify major health care,
research and policy issues facing incarcerated individuals,
including infectious diseases, mental illness, substance abuse and
special needs (e.g., women's issues,
juvenile health, geriatrics, disability)
• Demonstrate increased
understanding of skills necessary to better manage common medical,
dental and psychological problems found in correctional settings
• Describe legal, ethical and administrative issues and
develop solutions for the correctional setting
Your presentation should conform with
these policies of the NCCHC education committee:
• Content must be relevant to health care provided in correctional settings.
• Content must be accurate.
• Content must be based on
scientific modalities of diagnosis or therapy (if applicable).
• The presentation must not show preference for one product or service over
another unless there is a clear scientific or objective basis to do so, or unless
the presentation format allows for a fair presentation of alternatives.
• Corporate support, if any, must be
disclosed.
• If applicable, the presentation must be consistent with
NCCHC standards and promote their use.
• Presenters' credentials should be
appropriate to present the subject matter.
• The presentation should be sufficiently in-depth to require the full time allotment (usually
1 or 2 hours).

conference goals and objectives (listed above).
