All applicants selected for the 2018 Paul Ambrose Scholars Program must register for the Student Leadership Symposium to confirm their participation in the program. Please contact the program manager, Katy Bidwell should you have any questions.

The symposium provides an interprofessional opportunity for students to learn leadership and organizational skills from expert faculty in the field of prevention and population health.
