Forward20 Years of Transformation: Public Health at the School of Medicine and Public Health
Overview
The "Hot Topics in Public Health" symposium series is a forum designed to provide up-to-date information on emerging issues in public health. The series adopts various formats for education, including panel discussions, scholarly presentations, and audience-based question-and-answer sessions. Hot topics are selected by a steering committee of public health professionals, population health researchers, and clinicians at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. This session highlights the epidemic of loneliness and social isolation in the United States and provides background information on the health consequences of loneliness, tools for screening, and approaches to reduce loneliness.
This symposium will provide a look into the past 20 years of integrating Medicine and Public Health and a glance into what the future holds. In November of 2005, our medical school decided to make the unique decision to incorporate the two fields into one broad and very important focus area.
