Bridging the Gaps 29th Annual Symposium

Bridging the Gaps 29th Annual Symposium

The Bridging the Gaps (BTG) Annual Symposium is held each fall in Philadelphia. Students present their projects as poster displays and facilitate workshops based on the public health issues they encountered during their BTG Community Health Internship. The Symposium is open to the broader community, providing a forum for dialogue and networking opportunities among public health officials, community organizations and agency personnel, grantmakers, academic faculty and staff, students, and others interested in improving the quality of life in our communities.

Each year, BTG honors an individual whose work embodies the values and ideals of the program. The honoree acts as the symposium's keynote speaker and his or her book serves as a central text for the Community Health Internship Program.

This year's keynote speaker is Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, a pediatrician, professor, and public health advocate whose research exposed the Flint water crisis.
