Mission
Our mission is to enhance the educational setting and experience for doctoral students in all departments across the WSPH and to foster community between doctoral students. We also want to inspire, challenge and develop the training, career aspirations, and professional advancement for PHDS members. We believe the doctoral student experience can be enhanced through fellowship, social and educational events.
