Reimagining U.S. Public Health Preparedness and Response: A Seminar Series

COVID-19 challenged traditional ideas of “public health preparedness” and exposed tragic gaps in the way institutions and societies prepare for and respond to public health emergencies. The next century will be challenged by further pandemics, climate-driven crises, and other threats. This requires reimagining our approach to prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery from such threats. 

This seminar series will offer the perspectives of public health practitioners, community leaders and scholars in envisioning the transformation we need and describing the paths to make these changes a reality. 

This seminar series will offer five sessions (1/24, 2/7, 2/21, 3/6 and 4/3) all taking place between 4:00-5:15pm at the Mailman School of Public Health. Follow this link to register and to view a full schedule including session topics and speakers.
