Some Canadians are more vulnerable to ill health than others because of determinants like their gender, income, education, race/ethnicity, Aboriginal status, sexual orientation, or where they live. These determinants also shape Canadians? access to primary health care (the provision and coordination of health services that are responsive to community needs). If there?s no one-size-fits-all model, how can we ensure that Canadians have equitable access to primary health care? How can we design a health care system that protects against vulnerability? Please join us for a stimulating discussion with health experts about access to primary health care for vulnerable populations. The expert speakers featured on the panel are: **Dr. Sherry L. Grace**, Scientist, Division of Behavioural Sciences & Health, Toronto General Research Institute **Dr. Stephen W.

We launched the survey earlier in this month. Your assistance in distributing the link to the survey and encouraging your alumni to complete it is essential to its success. An information page about the survey is found on the AAA web site at: http://www.aaanet.org/cmtes/copapia/MAalumnisurvey.cfm. The direct link to the survey itself is also on this page. You may send either this page link or the direct survey link to your alumni. The genesis of the survey comes from a number of different interests. The AAA would like to connect with more Masters alums with regard to planning services, programs, and benefits. Departments of anthropology nationwide graduate over 1,000 Masters students per year and yet we know very little about their careers, their educational experience, and their needs for organizational affiliation. We have learned that departments of anthropology would like feedback on their graduate programs' usefulness as their graduates pursue careers in the broad array specializations characteristics of the discipline. In creating the survey, we engaged the advice of an extensive Advisory Network to provide feedback from all specialties across anthropology. We are sending the link to academic departments that grant MA degrees, as well as a number of other groups and list serves. (A list of members of the Advisory Network is found on the web page mentioned above.) Results from the survey will be published through the AAA, including the Anthropology Newsletter and the AAA web site. Individual respondents can request a copy of the survey report as well. Analysis will begin in fall 2009 and the report is expected at the end of 2009 or early 2010. The anonymous survey takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes to complete. Queries can be directed to MASurvey2009(a)aaanet.org <mailto:MASurvey2009@aaanet.org>. Those who wish to go directly to the survey (without going through the CoPAPIA page) can go to the following URL: http://research.zarca.com/k/SsRXQTsVTsPsPsP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Distinguished Speaker Lecture: "The Road to Stockholm: A Nobel Mission"* *"The Road to Stockholm: A Nobel Mission" LOUIS J. IGNARRO, Nobel Laureate Distinguished Professor of Pharmacology, UCLA* Dr. Louis J. Ignarro is a Distinguished Professor of Pharmacology at the UCLA School of Medicine and winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his groundbreaking discovery of the importance of Nitric Oxide in cardiovascular health. This discovery made it possible to develop and market Viagra, the first oral medication for the effective treatment of erectile dysfunction. As a result of his role in this blockbuster drug, Dr. Ignarro is sometimes known as "the Father of Viagra". For nearly 30 years, Dr. Ignarro's research has focused on the role of Nitric Oxide in the cardiovascular system. Among the most significant contributions from Dr. Ignarro's wealth of research is the discovery that Nitric Oxide is produced in the blood vessels and controls the flow of blood by signaling the vessels to expand and contract.

Some Canadians are more vulnerable to ill health than others because of determinants like their gender, income, education, race/ethnicity, Aboriginal status, sexual orientation, or where they live. These determinants also shape Canadians? access to primary health care (the provision and coordination of health services that are responsive to community needs). If there?s no one-size-fits-all model, how can we ensure that Canadians have equitable access to primary health care? How can we design a health care system that protects against vulnerability? Please join us for a stimulating discussion with health experts about access to primary health care for vulnerable populations. The expert speakers featured on the panel are: **Dr. Sherry L. Grace**, Scientist, Division of Behavioural Sciences & Health, Toronto General Research Institute **Dr. Stephen W. Hwang**, Associate Professor, Department of Medicine, University of Toronto **Anna Travers**, Director, Rainbow Health Ontario The event is co-moderated by **Dr. Colleen Flood**, Scientific Director, CIHR?s Institute of Health Services and Policy Research, and *Dr. Joy Johnson*, Scientific Director, CIHR?s Institute of Gender and Health. If you have accessibility needs, please contact the organizers and we will do our best to accommodate you. /What is CIHR?/ The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) is the Government of Canada?s agency for health research. CIHR?s mission is to create new scientific knowledge and to catalyze its translation into improved health, more effective health services and products, and a strengthened Canadian health-care system.
