The National Children’s Study – Ramsey County Location Speakers’ Series

About the Speakers’ Series

The National Children’s Study Speakers’ Series provides 60-90 minute interactive talks by University and community experts in maternal, infant, child, youth, and family health.  The series is intended to address topics of concern to public health, social service, and health care professionals; students; researchers; and community members and to provide a public forum for discussion.

The Series is sponsored by the National Children’s Study/Ramsey County Location and the Center for Leadership Education in Maternal and Child Public Health, both of which are located at the University of Minnesota’s School of Public Health.

Dr.  Kozhimannil’s talk on January 23, 2013 concludes our National Children’s Study Speakers’ Series.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our previous speakers and those who have attended our events over the past several years.  To read more about the future of the National Children’s Study, see our latest newsletter.
