AMERICAN INDIAN HEALTH POLICY SYMPOSIUM

American Indian Health Management & Policy (AIHMP) is sponsoring the 2008 American Indian Health Policy Symposium in Phoenix, AZ with an expanded agenda of health policy topics.

At AIHMP, we work to spread knowledge and understanding about American Indian health care policy and management within Indian Country and beyond.

AIHMP will host a three-day event on March 17-19 that will include an agenda focused on the AIHMP’s mission to provide practical solutions to policy issues affecting American Indian health disparities. The 2008 American Indian Health Policy Symposium will look at the broad spectrum of current and emerging American Indian healthcare and health policy issues affecting the health of both tribal and urban Indian populations. In addition, American Indian health policy material includes an abbreviated version of the semester-long course on American Indian Health Law and Policy course taught by Dr. Donald Warne at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University.

With expanded topics, additional presenters with policy expertise, an exhibitor’s hall, and optional half-day workshop on on March 19, this event promises to be even better than our first.

Over 100 tribal leaders, government officials, policymakers, students, private healthcare service providers, and American Indian business owners are expected to attend this thought-stimulating forum for individuals and organizations with an interest in American Indian healthcare policy.
