Virginia A. Moyer M.D., M.P.H. Chair, United States Preventive Services Task Force Chief Quality Officer for Medicine, Texas Children’s Hospital Chair, Department of Pediatrics, Baylor University College of Medicine
We are pleased to welcome as our keynote speaker this morning Dr. Virginia A. Moyer, Chair of the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), Chief of the Academic Medicine Service at Texas Children’s Hospital, and Professor of Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine. Dr. Moyer earned her M.D. from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas; completed a residency in pediatrics at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C.; and earned a master’s degree in public health from the University of Texas School of Public Health in Houston. Her clinical interests include evidence-based medicine, diagnostic testing, and preventive services. She is an internationally recognized expert in formulating, communicating, and implementing evidencebased screening and practice guidelines. The USPSTF is an independent group of national experts in prevention and evidence-based medicine that works to improve the health of all Americans by making evidence-based recommendations about clinical preventive services such as mammography, counseling regarding obesity, domestic violence, and heart disease prevention. Using examples from recent USPSTF recommendations, Dr. Moyer’s keynote address will lead participants to consider solutions to the challenges that arise when research-based recommendations conflict with familiar practices or strongly held beliefs. We are also very pleased to be able to welcome several speakers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, GA; from Athens Technical College and the University of Alabama at Birmingham; and from the College of Education, the College of Public Health, the College of Family and Consumer Sciences, the School of Pharmacy, and the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Georgia. Thanks to all who are sharing their expertise with us today!

Mission Statement The mission of the Institute for Evidence-Based Health Professions Education is to facilitate the collaborative efforts of the College of Education and College of Public Health to develop programs for health professions educators, researchers and practitioners focused on evidence-based practice and to facilitate the efforts of faculty in other programs at UGA to develop programs in their own units with a similar focus. The Institute’s seminars, lectures, conferences, and collaborative research initiatives provide a context for interested faculty in all areas of related scholarship to interact. The Institute serves as a catalyst for cross-campus sharing of expertise in development of health professions education courses and as a platform for national engagement in this expanding area of study and pedagogy.
