The Packer Policy Fellowships, a "reverse Harkness Fellowship" program established in 2002, are designed to enable two mid-career U.S. policy researchers or practitioners to spend up to 10 months in Australia conducting research and gaining an understanding of Australian health policy issues relevant to the U.S. Chaired by Andrew Bindman, M.D., the selection committee met in November 2005 and selected the third round of fellows.
