ASTMH

Charting Research Careers in Global Health

Posted on by Dr. Francis Collins

That’s me at the 67th annual meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH). I took part in a townhall-style conversation with ASTMH President Chandy John (far middle, blue shirt). We discussed global health and NIH’s efforts to build career opportunities for trainees abroad. Afterwards, folks in the audience gathered with follow-up questions and to ask for selfies with me, which is always fun. The session was held on November 22, 2019 at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center, Washington, D.C. Credit: Karen Goraleski.
