Leadership Symposium

One of HealthSTAT’s signature events, the annual Leadership Symposium, brings together students from across disciplines and across the state to wrestle with Georgia’s biggest public health and healthcare challenges. Each fall, the symposium offers students the opportunity to learn from and network with experts and leaders in health. Students then spend a substantial amount of time brainstorming and working with their peers to develop ways that students can address these issues in Georgia.
