More News from Upcoming CISTM9

Together with the nursing members of the Program Committee (Susan Bailey and Jane Chiodini) and the standing Practice and Nursing Issues Committee (Chair: Rebecca Acosta), we have been able to organize a symposium on “Improving Adherence in Travel Medicine”. We have been able to entice nurse researcher Dr. Nola Pender, developer of the well known Pender Model of Health Promotion and author of the textbook, Health Promotion in Nursing Practice, to address us. Professor Jimmy Volmink, University of Cape Town, South Africa and the director of the African Cochrane Review Center, will talk on “Efficacy of interventions to improve adherence to medications”. And Dr. Patricia Schlagenhauf will examine adherence issues in specific situations encountered in daily travel medicine practice.
