On April 29, 2014, the IOM/NRC study committee will hold a second public information-gathering session at the Beckman Conference Center of the National Academies of Sciences and Engineering in Irvine, CA. The committee is tasked with conducting a study and preparing a consensus report on how the science of children’s health, learning and development can inform the requirements for preparing a workforce to seamlessly support children from birth through age 8. The purpose of this public session is for the committee to hear from experts in the field to inform their deliberations.

This event is open to the public. Registration is required to attend in person and seating is limited. For those unable to attend in person, live webcasting will be available.
