This continuing education program features interaction with renowned senior faculty and guest speakers from organizations such as the World Bank, WHO, and private industry leaders. In consultation with expert faculty, participants select a project based on "real world" country or company issues and work on it during the interim between each session.

By popular demand, Kaiser Permanente and UCB are once again offering our programs back-to-back in October 2013.
