About the Practice and Research series

Register for the series

Center for Public Health Senior Fellows and other University leaders will present on timely and critical public health topics to the larger Center for Public Health network, including community partners and key stakeholders. The seminar format will include a brief presentation from a featured speaker, followed by a Q&A forum. Participants will discuss current public health challenges, new developments in the field, and best practices in practice and research.

The monthly “P and R” seminar is designed to serve as a dedicated space to bring together interdisciplinary public health senior leaders across the University, and ultimately advance collaboration and innovation in public health.

We’re very excited about continuing to grow a virtual community of public health leaders at Penn!
