Current Students
We want to make the GW Center of Excellence in Maternal and Child Health work hard for you.
After all, you are why we exist! We succeed when you succeed.
Faculty and staff have fleshed out a number of projects and activities that we think are or could be beneficial, and they are described elsewhere on this site. But what do you think? What works and what doesn’t? Drop us a note at [email protected]. We are open to your thoughts and suggestions. And remember to join our MCH Student Network, GWMCHN, and follow them on social media.
