Interest Group Meetings
Interest Groups allow NAM members from different disciplines to convene
on pertinent and interdisciplinary subjects. During the NAM Annual
Meeting, each Interest Group organizes and leads a panel of scholars to
discuss current and global challenges affecting science, medicine,
technology, and health.
This year, for the first time, we are pleased to present the NAM
Interest Group programs to the public and welcome anyone with an
interest at the intersection of human health and public policy to
attend. The Interest Groups will convene on Sunday, October 18. You can register to attend the Interest Groups at the same link to register to attend the scientific program.
