Global Health Security Seminar Series
The Global Health Security Seminar Series began in September 2017 in efforts to promote greater dialogue regarding health security across Georgetown University and the wider Washington D.C. community. The events are co-sponsored by Georgetown’s Center for Global Health Science & Security, the School of Health’s Department of Health Management and Policy, and the Global Health Institute and will occur in person on Mondays from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. ET in the Maguire Hall 304 conference room. They will also be available via Zoom. RSVPs will be available prior to each event.
