In October 2019, William A. Haseltine presented a workshop on medical management and leadership at the annual Royal Australasian College of Medical Administrators Conference in Adelaide, Australia. He also delivered a keynote speech.
Haseltine’s interest in improving human health has taken him from the halls of Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Public Health, where he served as faculty, to the frontiers of the biotech industry, where he founded more than a dozen companies.
