A ringside seat for controversial issues and national policy making in health care is available this summer at the ninth annual Health Policy Institute. It offers students and faculty at George Mason a unique learning experience, and it draws attendees from more than 27 states. The Health Policy Institute, which runs June 4-8, also serves as a core for two companion programs. The first is the Washington Internship, June 4-15, which incorporates the institute and offers participants a weeklong internship in an organization with a public policy agenda in health. Placements may be in a Capitol Hill office, a federal health agency, a national association, or other policy organization.
Interns engage in a variety of field experiences related to the legislative process.
The second program, the Policy Leadership Training Program, runs June 3-8. Graduate credits and continuing education credits are available for all three options. For additional information, call x31931 or visit the center's web site at chpre.gmu.edu.
