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
