GW health students are excited to continue Walk with a (Future) Doc, a program where we connect with the community through health-focused walks! We plan to hold these walks monthly on Saturday mornings, with our next event scheduled for Saturday, February 22nd, at 10 AM. Due to changing weather conditions, please look for a confirmation email on Thursday, February 20th.

We’ll meet at Ross Hall courtyard (2300 I St NW, Washington, DC) and walk to the Kennedy Center and back. This month's theme is “Heart Health” The event is open to all, and we welcome you to join us—our group includes medical, physical therapy, and occupational therapy students dedicated to promoting health awareness and building connections within Foggy Bottom and the surrounding areas. 

To make the walk more enjoyable for everyone, we’ll have two groups—one for faster walkers and one for a more relaxed pace. Whether you want to power through or take it easy, there’s a group for you!

Walk with a Doc is a national program with chapters at medical schools across the country. It’s a fantastic opportunity to engage in physical activity, socialize, and spend time outdoors! Plus, eligible participants can even receive compensation. You can learn more about the Walk with a Doc program and compensation eligibility on their website here. Additionally, please feel free to check out and share our new Walk with a Doc website!
