The Commonwealth Fund invites you to a webinar on the Australia and New Zealand Harkness Fellowships in Health Care Policy and Practice on August 7 at 9:00 a.m./11:00 a.m. (AEST/NZST).

Commonwealth Fund Vice President Robin Osborn will discuss how the Harkness Fellowship works and program activities throughout the year. She will also provide a brief overview of the U.S. health policy context. Former New Zealand Harkness Fellow Robyn Whittaker (2010–11) and Australian Harkness Fellow David Peiris (2015–16) will discuss their fellowship experiences and projects and explain how the Harkness Fellowship changed their lives, personally and professionally.

The Harkness Fellowships provide a unique opportunity for mid-career professionals — academic researchers, government policymakers, clinical leaders, hospital and insurance managers, and journalists — to spend up to 12 months in the United States working with leading experts to study health care delivery reforms and critical issues on the health policy agenda in both the U.S. and their home countries. The fellowship is open to candidates from Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, and the United Kingdom.
