5TH US-UK MEDICAL SOCIOLOGY CONFERENCE: EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION DISCOUNT EXTENDED TO APRIL 15
Reykjavik, Iceland, June 18-20th, 2015
The registration for the 5th US-UK Medical Sociology Conference is now open, and due to continuing interest, the organization committee (Jason Beckfield, Peter Conrad, Stefan H. Jonsson, Sigrun Olafsdottir, Brea Perry, Bernice Pescosolido, Catherine Pope, Pat Rieker, Anne Rogers, and Runar Vilhjalmsson)
has extended the early bird discount through April 15th.
The conference is organized around plenary speeches (delivered by Nancy Krieger, Bruce Link and Ruth McDonald) and discussion in informal workshops focusing on common interests (e.g. health disparities, health policy, mental illness, global health, genetics, or social networks). Conference participants will also be invited to learn more about the Icelandic health and health care landscape, through a talk and discussion with Icelandīs Surgeon General, a visit to DeCode, and a reception hosted by the Icelandic Ministry of Health and Welfare.
The Early Bird Registration is US$350 and includes participation in the conference and activities directly related to it, lunches and snacks during the conference, and a conference dinner. There are direct flights to Iceland from multiple cities in the US, Canada, and Europe and we have arranged for special rates at various hotels in downtown Reykjavik (ranging from $97 to $350 for a single room per night). We have also arranged special excursions (reasonably priced), including a trip to the Blue Lagoon and the Golden Circle. We hope you consider joining us for what promises to be an exciting conference, with confirmed participants from the US, UK, Canada, Germany, Iceland and Italy.
