Another busy week at the Asian Liver Center!

Alison and I just finished our training program with Shandong University School of Nursing.  On Friday at 5pm PST (8am in Shandong Province, China), the week-long nursing school program began with an official opening ceremony.  Dr. Samuel So, ALC Director, presented an overview of HBV and liver cancer and the Jade Ribbon Campaign.  Alison and I then presented on the outreach and education activities of our center and the fundamental basics on how to develop an outreach and education event in their own campus and communities.  We are excited to analyze our evaluation data to see the effectiveness of our education and training program.   This will really help us to reevaluate and revise our Know HBV online training tool that we have been developing over the past month.

We’ve also been getting ready for the Team HBV Conference and organizing the new and improved Team HBV Advisory Board.  Applications should be out by the end of the summer.

Now I am working on my upcoming presentation for the 3rd Annual National Conference on Health Communication, Marketing, and Media 2009 in August.  Wish me luck!

All the best,
Alena
