Dear EBHCers,
The Preventing Overdiagnosis conference, being held 10-12 September
2013, hosted by The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy & Clinical
Practice, in partnership with BMJ, Consumer Reports, and Bond University.
The registration fee is $475, the conference will have no industry
sponsorship, and registration is about to open.
The conference seeks to develop the science of this problem and its
solutions, and help devise more effective ways to communicate about the
‘modern epidemic’ of overdiagnosis, with professionals, policy-makers,
and the public.
BMJ plans to follow the conference with a special theme issue on the
topic, focusing on how to wind back the harms of too much medicine.
