The Network of the National Library of Medicine invites proposals for a virtual National Health Misinformation Symposium. It will take place online from Tuesday, April 4, to Friday, April 7, 2023.
This free, virtual Symposium will explore both the research behind health misinformation movements and provide practical and evidence-based solutions to support librarians, health educators, and direct care providers in combating the spread of all types of health misinformation. Topics may include the types of misinformation, history of health misinformation, tips to understand health research, combating social media spread, the effects of health misinformation on individuals and communities, and highlighting replicable programs that Network Members can implement to address health misinformation.
The Health Misinformation Symposium will offer a keynote each day along with hour presentations, and panels of 10-minute lightning talks from 11:00 AM to 4:30 PM CDT on each day of the conference.
Proposals are accepted through an online form. Please carefully review the rubric the review committee will use to access submissions when drafting your submission. The deadline to submit proposals is Monday, October 31, at 11:00 PM CDT.
