Priority is given to journalists currently working on health and medicine topics. However, experience in covering health and science is not a prerequisite so you are welcome to apply.

Graduate and undergraduate students preparing for a career in health/science journalism are welcome to apply, and we hope to accept selected students, especially those with prior work experience. Priority for the limited number of seats will be given to journalists currently working in the field.

The deadline to apply is July 24, 2026 to get the hotel discount. Space is limited, so please apply soon! If all slots are filled your name will be placed on a waiting list.

Once you receive your acceptance, you will have 3 calendar days to confirm attendance. After that time, open slots will be offered to waitlisted applicants.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept applications for part time participants.

The course sessions will be held on campus at Dartmouth College (Hanover, NH). This is a short walk from the hotel.

While there is no fee for attending, accepted applicants are expected to cover all travel and per diem expenses, including local transportation, meals and incidentals. Eligible out-of-town participants will receive a lodging subsidy (see below).

Dinner will be provided (free except drinks) on Tuesday August 25, at a great local restaurant.  We will provide transporation (free).  There will be an after dinner keynote talk (speaker to be announced shortly).    

Accepted applicants should reserve a room for 4 nights (Sunday night August 23, 2026 check in – Thursday August 27 departure) at the Six South Hotel, 6 South Street, Hanover, NH 03755, https://sixsouth.com/ (Tel. (603) 643.0600).  The hotel is a short (15 min) walk* from the venue. 

*Please let us know if there any mobility requirements or accommodations you’d like us to be aware of.

If you call the hotel, please tell the reservationist that you are with the group “Steven Woloshin Group”. The room hold will be lifted on Friday, July 24, 2025. After that time, we cannot guarantee room availability or lodging subsidy.

Lodging subsidy
Thanks to a generous grant from our funder (Arnold Ventures), we are able to provide a lodging subsidy so you will pay less than $200/night for the hotel which includes the room and tax, breakfast and wifi, but not other food or parking. Disregard any room prices on the website. This offer is only good for lodging at the hotels noted above and only until July 24, 2026.

People who complete the course will receive a certificate of participation, but the certificate is not associated with any official credentialing body.
