The sixth class of fellows (2003-04) completed a productive year, ending with a final reporting seminar in San Diego in June 2004. The year included several opportunities for fellows to meet with leading U.S. and international policy experts. In October, fellows attended the Fund's International Symposium on Health Care Policy and participated in a visit to AHRQ. A Washington policy briefing in February gave the fellows exposure to the political process and the views of a wide range of senior policymakers and stakeholders. Joining the Harkness fellows was a U.S. journalist from the Kaiser Media Fellowships in Health.
In May, the fellows traveled to Toronto and Ottawa for briefings with senior government officials and health care leaders and a closer look at the Canadian health care system. Two Canadian Harkness Associates, selected in collaboration with the Canadian Health Services Research Foundation, participated in the fellowship seminars, adding a valuable Canadian perspective.
The 2004-05 Harkness Fellows arrived in the U.S. beginning in August. With the support of The Health Foundation, the fellowships were expanded to include two U.K. Harkness/Health Foundation Fellows. Geared toward health care practitioners and senior civil servants involved directly in health policy, the Harkness/Health Foundation Fellowships aim to enrich health policy development and leadership in the U.K. The 2004-05 Harkness Fellows will undertake research projects under the guidance of a distinguished roster of U.S. and home country mentors. A publishable paper or report for senior policymakers is expected to result from each fellowship.
The 2004-05 Harkness Fellows are:
