AACH Research and Teaching Forum, October 17-19, 2008

With doctor-patient communication in the forefront of medical education and medical practices worldwide, the American Academy on Communication in Healthcare (AACH) presents the most up-to-date and cutting edge research in healthcare communications at their Research and Teaching Forum.

Translating Communications Research: Bench to Bedside to Community

Communication is central to health and healing. Research and teaching on communication in healthcare has traditionally existed at many different levels, from the basic science of communication, to the effects and improvement of communication in clinical settings, to critical aspects of communication in the communities in which patients live. Too often, though, these different types of inquiry exist in isolation from each other, and the findings in one area often remain an untapped resource in other areas. One of the main goals for this year's Forum is to create dialogue between teachers, scientists and health care practitioners across the continuum of communication from bench to bedside to community.

The 2008 conference will be held at the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Madison in Madison, Wisconsin, USA. This conference is organized by the American Academy on Communication in Healthcare (AACH). For more information click on the following subjects:
