Lunch & Learn

Lunch & Learn

As a cross-campus and international initiative, Lunch and Learn invites guest scholars in HEAL-focused fields to inform our collective understanding of the health of individuals, communities, and societies. These events inspire honest and open discussion about challenging or little-known aspects of health care.
