Our Health Professions Mission
Idaho Conference on Health Care
The Idaho Conference on Health Care is an annual event offering speeches and presentations by a variety of health care experts on a variety of topics associated with a central health care theme. All health conference events are free to ISU students, faculty and staff. The conference keynote addresses are free and open to the public, but registration fees are required for the public for most conference events, including plenary speeches. Continuing education units are available to professionals desiring them.
