Margolis Seminars in Health Policy & Management are held approximately every other Friday from 12-1:30 pm
Attendees include faculty, staff, and students from departments across Duke. The seminars aim to connect the Duke-wide health policy community, and to help people form, develop, and shape their health policy-related work. Most seminars cover research or policy analysis in progress, while others include presentations by faculty, staff, and visitors on significant newly-released research or legislation/regulations. If you are a member of the Duke community interested in attending or presenting at seminar, or wish to be added to the seminar email list, please email kathryn.lallinger@duke.edu.
