Mission
Our mission is to enhance the educational setting and experience for doctoral students across all departments at WSPH and to foster community among them. 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.
