Seminar Series
The Health and the Public Interest Virtual Seminar Series
The Health and the Public Interest Seminar Series was a forum in which Georgetown students, faculty, and the general public engaged with key leaders in healthcare research, policy, and advocacy. Seminar topics included cross-cultural views of disease, improving healthcare outcomes in underserved communities, corporate influences on prescribing, the regulation of medical products, symptom formation and healing, and the opioid epidemic.
The Seminar Series was open to prospective students, the Georgetown community, and interested members of the general public.
You can find recordings from our past seminars on our Youtube channel. Speakers include Dr. Cassandra Crisafi, PhD, MPH, on “Disarming the Debate: Understanding Gun Violence as a Public Health Issue”; Dr. Peter Lurie, MD, MPH, on “Advocacy Tools for Outsiders”; and Daniel Craig McCool, PhD, on “Water Justice for Native Americans”.
