I don't feel alone doing correctional medicine any more. I would highly recommend that my colleagues attend future NCCHC conferences." — Prison Medical Director

Dear Colleague
Leaders in correctional health care face unique challenges every day. We manage best practices, personnel, budgets, security concerns and patient advocacy in some of the toughest environments anywhere. We depend on tailored expert resources for support and guidance. Year after year, the National Commission on Correctional Health Care delivers these resources.
NCCHC, as the long-standing leading organization supporting health care quality in prisons, jails and juvenile confinement facilities, understands your specific needs and concerns. The Commission has worked diligently with expert clinicians, administrators, and other thought leaders to create a unique curriculum to help you develop and hone the critical skills needed to manage clinical and administrative operations in a correctional health care system.
This exciting multitrack event covers both the essential and advanced topics necessary to successfully lead a correctional health care program. The physician and clinician track is recommended for all staff trained in direct care who also have or wish to develop management responsibilities. The health administrator track has been developed by experts in management of the administrative aspects of correctional health care programs and is particularly helpful for professionals charged with achieving executive and operational excellence in their programs. The tracks are produced in conjunction with the Society of Correctional Physicians and the Academy of Correctional Health Professionals, the largest professional societies for correctional physicians and professionals in the world.
The conference will take place in a retreat setting where you will have plenty of time to meet peers and experts, learn from colleagues and go back to work energized and armed with new strategies and solutions for meeting your professional responsibilities. In addition, time has been set aside for facilitated roundtables to maximize interaction.
The program will take place at the award-winning Omni Interlocken in Denver on July 18-19. We encourage you to participate in this exciting program and hope to see you in July.

NCCHC PRESENTER GUIDELINES
Presentations are due: June 20, 2014
Please use the Powerpoint template provided here.
Your presentation for the National Commission on Correctional Health Care is one of the most important means of exchanging information among correctional health care professionals. These guidelines will help make your presentation as effective as possible.
PREPARING YOUR TALK
The time allotment for most sessions is one hour. Please do not go over your allotted time because it will disrupt the program schedule. Plan your talk to allow 10 minutes for questions. (Adjust accordingly if your session is more than one hour.) If you have special needs for your presentation that have not already been accounted for, contact Deborah Ross, Director of Meetings, in advance - at deborahross@ncchc.org.
Plan to speak slowly and clearly so that everyone can understand you, especially if you discuss a topic not covered in your visual presentation materials. As a rough guideline, you should allow for approximately 2-3 minutes per slide that you use for your talk. Therefore, we recommend that you plan for approximately 12-20 slides, maximum, for a 50-minute talk. An introductory slide should show the title of your presentation, your name with credentials and your affiliation.
Because the session rooms can be much larger than typical conference rooms, use large, well-spaced type on your slides and allow space for the border around the image. The maximum number of lines on your slide should be 8-10 lines of type that is preferably 24 pt size or larger for most text and never smaller than 18 pt for any text. Please use the provided template.
The organizations that allow NCCHC to offer continuing education require that NCCHC keep copies of presentation materials. In addition, conference attendees are entitled to receive presentation materials for every session, so you MUST provide an electronic copy of your slides. This must be sent to NCCHC by the requested deadline. Otherwise, it is your responsibility to provide presentation handouts, typically 100 copies per session. A copy of the handout also should be provided to NCCHC.
ON-SITE AT THE MEETING
Arrive at your session room 10 minutes before the talk begins to discuss any special arrangements or problems with the session moderator. Please check the audiovisual equipment you will be using. A laptop will be provided.
Before your talk, the moderator will introduce you, giving, at minimum, your name, professional affiliation and presentation title. If you would like additional information to be shared with the audience, please communicate that to your moderator.
Always speak into your microphone, and when someone asks a question, please repeat it succinctly. Please refrain from making comments that could be perceived by others to be disparaging to the profession of correctional health care or the patients we serve.
Remember, you typically will have a maximum of 50 minutes for your entire presentation plus 10 minutes for questions and answers. Your moderator will signal you when you have approximately 10 minutes remaining. Your moderator may interrupt you, if necessary, to allow adequate time for questions from the audience.
TIPS FOR INCREASING VISIBILITY FOR YOUR PRESENTATION
- Update your email signature to include a message such as “See you at the Correctional Health Care Leadership Institutes, July 18-19, 2014, www.ncchc.org/leadership-institutes."
- Provide information about the event and your presentation in your organization’s newsletters as well as other communications.
- Place the conference banner or logo on your organization’s website and/or as part of your e-mail signature. It’s available on the conference site under “exhibitor information.”
- Include the Leadership Institutes on your company calendar on your website, if applicable.
- Add information about the conference to your organization's intranet calendar.
- Use social media such as Facebook and LinkedIn to publicize your plans to present.
- Develop and distribute a press release.
- A PDF of the conference preliminary program is available for distribution to your professional contacts.
