Let’s Talk Pop Health
The Population Health Initiative is working to amplify population health-related education and training activities across the UW’s three campuses by offering, partnering to offer and/or promoting a range of events under the banner of, “Let’s Talk Pop Health.”
These offerings are a mix of virtual, in-person and hybrid workshops, lectures, seminars, film screenings, convenings and so forth, with the in-person activities to be held primarily in the Hans Rosling Center for Population Health, activating it as the University’s hub for population health.
