Program faculty are drawn from the School of Medicine, the School of Hygiene and Public Health, the School of Arts and Sciences and other divisions of the University. A regular research and policy seminar series also is held at which speakers both from inside and outside the University discuss current issues and present completed work or work in progress. The Program capitalizes on its proximity to federal agencies in the Washington-Baltimore area in recruiting seminar speakers and identifying potential areas and sites for research and learning by the Scholars. Scholars may enroll in courses in any department or school of the University, but study towards an academic degree is not a requirement of the Program. Scholars are expected to develop, complete, and publish the results of an independent research project.
Scholars remain active in patient care in their area of clinical expertise.
