## About

The purpose of the seminar series is to develop the fellows' leadership skills by exposing them to the key leaders from both private and public sectors. The series focuses on public health practice and public health policy. The seminar series is offered as a course within the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences entitled “Leadership in Health Policy” (SBS 296) in the fall. The participants include the fellows, students from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and other Harvard graduate schools.

The sessions explore the public policy issues impacting the health status of vulnerable, disadvantaged, and unsinsured populations, with special emphasis on problem identification, policy formation, and development of leadership skills in the area of public health practice and policy. The Fellows and other attendees engage with both faculty members at Harvard and key health policy leaders from the public and private sectors. A major focus is to provide the participants with a variety of leadership styles and career development strategies.
