SDPRC Annual Conference on Latino Health

The Training & Education Division plans the SDPRC Annual Conference designed to increase understanding of physical activity, its relationship to obesity, and how to promote physical activity in the Latino community. Conference participants include community organization staff, promotoras, students, researchers, and academics.

This division also offers internships for high school, undergraduate, masters, doctoral students, and preventive medicine residents to engage in community-based research activities. A special opportunity exists for students to publish their work in public health columns maintained by the SDPRC in local, Latino community newspapers.
