URBANA, Ill. — The University of Illinois, along with the Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Institute, a campus-wide health sciences-oriented research institute, in partnership with Illinois Extension, has developed the Community Seminar Series, a program that offers the community the opportunity to learn about current health research, learn how to identify reliable sources of health information, and engage directly with University of Illinois researchers.

Illinois Extension offers the Summer Self Care 2023 online series, in which health science experts from the University of Illinois offer holistic, forward-thinking solutions to address today's health challenges. All webinars and courses are eligible for CEUs and CPDUs.

“Given the current state of health information, there is a pressing need to create models that enable researchers, educators, and community stakeholders to collaborate and exchange knowledge on relevant health subjects,” says Extension outreach associate Dee Walls. “The goal is to offer the general public up-to-date, evidence-based health information.”
