Dr. Terry Davis from LSU Medical School will bring a team to make a video for the AMA to help doctors become more aware of literacy problems that some of their patients may have. A few of the adult learners will be asked to take part in the video. It will be a first for adult learners-- partnering with people from the medical field to help find ways to bring understanding about people with poor literacy skills. The doctors and the team members will be the students at this conference and the adult learners will be the teachers. This has never happened before. There will be a general session about health-literacy. Ruth Parker, MD and Mark Williams, MD from Emery Medical School will answer questions and explain to the adult learners how they can be better informed patients before visiting a medical office. Other team members will be a part of this session. I have attended six of Illinois’ New Readers Conferences and have worn many different hats at them. At this conference I will be a member of Dr. Davis’ team. Archie Willard Adult Learner -- Archie Willard millard@goldfieldaccess.net URL - http://www.readiowa.org/archiew.html
