What’s it like to work in U.S. government? An insider’s perspective
A Dr. Lawrence H. and Roberta Cohn Forum
Working in the White House sounds glamorous. Running federal health programs sounds important. But what are these jobs really like? Our panelists will share the inside scoop: How they navigated tense politics, all-consuming crises, conflicting priorities, and (in some cases) a hostile press to advance the public health agendas of the Biden and Obama administrations. They’ll discuss their experiences and take your questions in this informal—but highly informative—discussion.
