Aug. 11 is deadline to sign up for Association of Health Care Journalists' Rural Health Journalism Workshop in K.C.

The mostly annual Rural Health Journalism Workshop of the Association of Health Care Journalists will be held Aug. 24 at the Hotel Kansas City in Kansas City, Mo. The full program, titled "The 5 Most Urgent Conversations About Rural Health," will focus on these points:
  • Investigating environmental health — access points and pointers
  • How rural harm reduction fits into the fight against overdose
  • Rural mental health care: Reaching cultural competency
  • Finding a maternal health solution for rural America
  • How people get health care information in news deserts
The deadline for registration is Aug. 11, but the room block has expired, so if you're interested, act quickly. The fee is $25 for ACHJ members and $35 for non-members, but non-members may purchase a seat and a six-month AHCJ membership for a combined fee of $60. Scholarships are available to Kansas and Missouri-based journalists for help with mileage, registration and one hotel night. Apply here.
