Women in Health Policy

Though women make up 80% of healthcare workers, 60% of the industry’s key decision makers are men.

At the three-day Women in Health Policy seminar, college women from across the U.S. considering a career in health policy will learn how to make an impact in the legislative and political processes, explore hot-button issues on Capitol Hill, and expand their professional networks in Washington, DC and beyond. Experienced women who have broken the glass ceiling on both sides of the aisle are our faculty, and government, nonprofit, and corporate offices across DC are our classrooms.
