About the Bicentennial Faculty Lecture Series (FLS)
In the summer of 2024, the GW SMHS issued a call for proposals to faculty across the academic medical enterprise for the inaugural Bicentennial Faculty Lecture Series.
The goal is for our faculty to “fuel the advancement of knowledge in their area of interest and to demonstrate what makes GW unique and distinct.” The FLS was built to showcase faculty ideas, cultivate a sense of community, and foster meaningful connections across the academic medical enterprise.
