BTGAN - BTG Alumni Network

Since 1991, Bridging the Gaps has linked the provision of health-related service for under-resourced communities with the interprofessional training of health and social service professionals.

In 2021, the Bridging the Gaps Alumni Network (BTGAN) was formed to link these changemakers to one another and to the next generations of service professionals. This alumni-led group offers networking, bidirectional mentorship opportunities, speaking engagements, continuing education, and more.

Welcome to the BTG Alumni Network

Dear Fellow BTG Alum,

As we celebrate 35 years of impact, we’re reminded of how deeply BTG has shaped careers, communities, and our shared commitment to health equity. The stories we hear from alumni—across disciplines and across the country—affirm that BTG is not just a summer experience, but a lifelong community dedicated to advancing health and well‑being for all.

We invite you to stay connected and engaged with the network you helped create. Whether you share your expertise, collaborate on new ideas, join upcoming programs, or support BTG through a gift of any size, your involvement strengthens the opportunities available to students, alumni, and communities. Thank you for being part of BTG’s legacy—and for continuing to build its future.
