Course Speakers

Our course speakers include key public and private sector experts in health administration, research, academics, government, economics, and law. Speakers provide a firsthand look at the diverse areas that health professionals impact including: 1) health disparities, 2) healthcare quality, 3) public and private insurance structure, 4) workforce development, 5) pharmaceutical industry policy, 6) medical ethics, 7) advocacy and effective communication, 8) behavioral health, 9) health information technology, and 10) healthcare payment/incentives.
RFHP has had the distinct pleasure and honor to host speakers such as the Surgeon General of the United States, the President of the National Academy of Medicine, the President of Planned Parenthood, the Director of the American Academy of Family Medicine, the Deputy Under Secretary for Health at Veteran Affairs, the Senior Editor of Science and Medicine at National Public Radio (NPR), the Director of the Health Resources & Services Administration, the Executive Vice President of the Kaiser Family Foundation, the Director of DC Health, the Director of the Center for Clinical Standards and Quality at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and George Washington University senior leadership.
