Connecting Fellows Past & Present: the Alumni Network
“ When fellows come in, they get immediately plugged into our extensive alumni network, which represents extraordinary people that have gone on to do extraordinary things over the 50 year history of the program. ”
–Gregg Margolis, Program director and 2009-10 fellow
Fellows are privileged to become part of an alumni network that connects them with decades of expertise and experience in the field of health policy. More than a professional network, it is a trusted community, as alumni serve as mentors, collaborators, and allies in the cause of improving the nation’s health.

“One of the strengths of this program and the orientation has been the vast network of people that we have met. I have found incredible mentors. I have found incredibly inspiring figures through this opportunity…every single interaction I’ve had with the fellows has been absolutely heartwarming, and it gives me a lot of hope for how I can use their advice and their mentorship to further and improve my own career and my knowledge.”

Annual Alumni Retreat Weekend
Each year, alumni return to Washington, D.C. for the Annual Alumni Retreat. Held in October, to coincide with the National Academy of Medicine’s annual meeting, it is an opportunity for fellows old and new to network, share ideas, and learn formally and informally from one another.
