The third annual symposium is a focused policy discussion on the emerging rural healthcare crisis in the United States, emphasizing possible solutions. As an academic institution in Georgia – a state at the very center of this crisis and debate – the University of Georgia School of Law aims to bring attention to the past, present and future of rural healthcare.
Healthcare policymakers, executives, entrepreneurs and scholars will explore a range of issues addressing local and national rural healthcare disparities. There will be four panels focusing on: rural healthcare administration and management by those "in the trenches," transformative ideas in rural health, mental and behavioral health shortages, and the intersection of rural health and rural economic development.
