Seminar Series

Join the BTG Network at the Seminar Series

The BTG Seminar Series draws upon the expertise of participating community partners and academic health centers to address topics related to population health and care coordination. The sessions are designed to augment professional curricula in various content areas and to offer concrete strategies for addressing issues affecting under-resourced populations.

Seminars are held in the evening during the fall, winter and spring months. Eligible students may attend seminars at any time during their academic program, including their first year. Students who wish to become BTG Scholars are required to attend six seminars.
