Researchers, practitioners and scholars from all disciplines are invited to take part in an engaging examination of big data and its impact on population health. Through presentations, panel discussions and breakout sessions covering a wide range of topics, conference attendees will explore how big data can be used to identify health needs and potential interventions to improve the health of populations.

Topics and learner outcomes include:

• Explore how clinicians can engage with big data to identify population health issues, management, and outcomes.
• Discuss strategies for using social media data to identify evolving population health concerns.
