For over 70 years, the Public Health Association of New York City (PHANYC) has been committed to improving the health and living conditions of all New Yorkers. As the oldest and largest independent organization of public health professionals in the city, PHANYC achieves this mission through education, science-based research and advocacy. In 2006 and 2007, the PHANYC Student Committee held its first two student conferences as a way to involve students in PHANYC’s advocacy and education efforts, as well as with the broader public health discussion in New York City.

On June 4, 2008, the PHANYC Student Committee is holding its Third Annual PHANYC Student Conference. The purpose of this conference is to bring together students of public health in the New York City area to present their work and to hear about the work of their colleagues. This is also an excellent opportunity for students to gain practical experience in presenting their research to their peers in an intimate setting.

Abstracts of 500 words (maximum) for presentations are welcome from undergraduate and graduate students working on research papers in urban public health issues. Possible topic areas include, but are not limited to: Health disparities in urban areas, social justice, sociology of health and public health, community partnerships, housing, environmental and occupational health, nutrition, asthma, diabetes, HIV and AIDS, sexual and reproductive health, childhood and adolescent health.
