Fireside chats were a series of radio (AM) addresses delivered by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1933 to 1944. Although the chats were initially meant to garner Americans’ support for Roosevelt’s New Deal policies, they eventually became a source of hope and security for some Americans.

Our AAOSH Fire Side Chats are also meant to inspire and encourage all of us to work every day to better the health of all people. We have a series where every month, we can ask those who are at the forefront, those who have met many challenges, to share their source of courage and to discuss the newest advancements in their field of endeavor.

The Fireside Chat is an interactive, comfortable, laid-back event to discuss current research and how it relates to overall health. Our chat incorporates a twist on interpreting a translational benefit in the future for clinical practice.
