About the Conference

What is optimal health? What vision should our work in the health care system aspire to achieve?

Preventive medicine is grounded in science, driven by evidence and data. But what does the data tell us? How do we operationalize it? How can we use science to advance prevention, engender equity and provide optimal health for all? Answer these questions at Preventive Medicine 2023.

Join colleagues in public health and preventive medicine from across the country to learn from experts in the field, network and build connections. Preventive Medicine 2023 will feature:
  • Three days of educational sessions — covering the most important topics in public health and prevention: health equity, reproductive health access, COVID-19 and pandemic preparedness, community preventive services, cardiovascular disease prevention, lifestyle medicine and so much more.
  • Innovative plenary speakers — bringing new and exciting perspectives to the conversation.
  • Extensive networking and career development — engaging opportunities for all career levels, from medical student to resident to early career physician to long-standing member in the field, there is something for you.
  • Culture of New Orleans — fine dining, art, music and more await your visit to NOLA!

COVID-19 Safety Measures

In order to provide the safest conference environment possible, ACPM is monitoring the ongoing COVID-19 situation closely and following all recommended precautions provided by the CDC. Thus, ACPM has outlined the COVID-19 protocols for our in-person annual meeting, including the conference vaccination and mask policy.

Attendees will be required to show proof of vaccination for entry into the event. ACPM is following the CDC guidelines to define whether you are up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines. Attendees will also be required to wear a face mask in public spaces at all times throughout the conference, except when eating and drinking. Presenters will also be able to remove their masks when speaking. Attendees are encouraged to wear the most effective masks they can tolerate, preferably N-95 masks.

PCR tests will not be required for PM 2023 participation. Attendees who become symptomatic will be required to seek COVID-19 testing at a nearby site. No testing will be provided on-site. Anyone who tests positive will be required to contact ACPM staff and follow CDC guidelines regarding self-isolation. ACPM will then communicate this potential exposure to all associated attendees.

To expedite the registration process, please consider uploading your vaccination card to the CLEAR Health Pass, a free feature in the CLEAR mobile app, prior to the conference.
