National Scholars’ Current Issues in Health Policy Lecture Series

The National Scholars’ Current Issues in Health Policy Lecture Series is the Center’s signature experience for Health Policy Scholars and Health Policy Fellows. The lectures provide an opportunity for anyone interested in provocative health and health policy issues to hear from the field’s leading experts from across the nation. The purpose is to familiarize participants with current and substantive key issues in health policy, health services research, and health disparities research with an emphasis in the social science disciplines of economics, sociology, and political science. The lecture series focuses on the breadth of topics and controversies affecting health policy – now and in the foreseeable future. Because of the dynamic nature of health policy, the content of this series will vary from year to year as issues evolve and new challenges emerge. 

Lectures are held at mid-day and complimentary lunch is served at each seminar.
