Symposiums & Seminars
Our Center typically hosts one symposium biannually. Past symposiums include topics on family homelessness, marijuana and child health, and long-acting reversible contraception.
We also collaborate with the Harvard Chan Department of Epidemiology annually to host a joint seminar on an MCH-related topic. Past years include topics on abortion care and newborn mortality.
These symposiums and seminars are open to the wider community. See below for more information on past symposiums and seminars.
