Epidemiology Planning Committee).
In
conjunction with the first North American Congress
of Epidemiology held in Toronto in 2001 [Anout / News / Photos],
a meeting of the leaders of fifteen Epidemiology Societies
was organized and sponsored by the Epidemiology Section
of the American Public Health Association, under the
leadership of Betsy Foxman. The purpose of this meeting
was to identify ways to increase communication among
epidemiology societies and coordinate activities.
An invitation to participate in the meeting was issued
to all societies whose names were displayed by an Internet
search of the terms "epidemiology" and "society." Representatives
decided to create an even more inclusive web site and directory. Any society
whose primary focus is epidemiology or health-related population studies is
welcome to join. Responsibility for maintaining the web site has been assumed
by the American College of Epidemiology (see below for contact information).
