In collaboration with Dr. Joan Gluch at the Penn Dental Medicine (PDM) Community Oral Health Division, the Leon Levy Dental Medicine Library hosts the Health Literacy Study Club (HLSC), where participants read and discuss foundational and emerging research and best practices about health literacy and patient education, particularly focused on oral health and dental medicine.
In honor of October as Health Literacy Month, the Fall 2024 kickoff of HLSC will be a part of the Virtual 2024 Health Literacy Annual Research Conference (HARC) on Tuesday October 22nd at 1:30pm Eastern. This will be the first time oral health and dental medicine will be discussed at HARC in recent years. Please register for HARC to participate in this session.
