SABEW seeks health care symposium applicants

The Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing is seeking applicants for its 2024 Health Care Symposium in Washington, D.C.

The fellowship will give journalists a chance to take a deep dive with experts and veteran reporters into some of the big issues facing U.S. health care, from the growing impact of private equity ownership, to the ways in which blockbuster diabetes and weight-loss drugs are widening health disparities, the crisis of rural health care, and the battles ahead on women’s reproductive health.

Thanks to a grant from The Commonwealth Fund, SABEW will cover the hotel costs and provide a travel stipend for out-of-town attendees. The program kicks off on Sunday evening, Oct. 20, with a welcome dinner. On Monday, Oct. 21, there will be a full day of sessions at the National Press Building Conference Center, located in D.C.

The symposium will conclude on Tuesday, Oct. 22, before noon.

If you are interested in being a Health Care fellow, apply by 5 p.m. ET, Thursday, Sept. 19.
