<p>The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation established the Barbara Jordan Health Policy Scholars Program at Howard University to honor the legacy of former foundation trustee and Congresswoman Barbara Jordan and to expand the pool of students in the field of health policy who are interested in issues affecting underserved communities. Through the nine-week program (May 18-July 27, 2009), scholars gain knowledge about federal legislative procedure and health policy issues while further developing their critical thinking and leadership skills. In addition to gaining experience in a congressional office, scholars participate in seminars and site visits to augment their knowledge of healthcare issues and write and present a health policy research memo that addresses a problem of concern to disadvantaged populations.</p>
