The annual LGBT Health Forum is a high profile public event that showcases the accomplishments of LGBT Health Policy and Practice students and shines a spotlight on vital health issues facing LGBT people in the United States and globally, including such topics as insurance reform, DOMA, human rights, and HIV/AIDS, among others. The Forum features talks and a roundtable discussion with researchers, activists, and policy experts in the area of focus.
