Socially responsible corporations and foundations help to advance a wide range of life-saving programs, research, and innovations through SMHS. These collaborations bring high visibility to our partnering institutions while supporting GW’s critical work around population health and health equity, education, and research.
Examples of these powerful partnerships include:

Health Policy Fellowship: Educating Family Medicine Physicians
Funded by the American Board of Family Medicine
An endowed medical fellowship allows early-career family medicine physicians to explore the relationship between health policy and patient outcomes and promote pathways toward healthier communities and more effective health care.
