With support from
GSK, the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH) is pleased to announce the launch of a new
Virtual Professional Development Learning Series created to empower early-career scientists, clinicians and public health professionals around the world—especially those working in and from disease-endemic regions.
Online Webinar Series
Beginning February 2026 and running through September 2026, this pilot program will offer a six-part online webinar series tailored to address critical professional development needs for individuals pursuing careers in global health and tropical medicine. Up to 60 participants will be selected to join the inaugural cohort.
This series adapts and expands upon high-value sessions traditionally offered at the ASTMH Annual Meeting, making them accessible to individuals who may not have the opportunity to participate in person. Each virtual session will be interactive and collaborative, featuring expert presentations, open Q&A discussions and group activities.
Topics to be covered include:
- Scientific journal writing
- Grant writing strategies
- Advocacy and science communication
- Innovative trends shaping global health
- Additional skills relevant to early-career professionals
Participants who complete at least four of the six webinars will receive a certificate of participation from ASTMH.
We are particularly committed to supporting scientists and innovators from disease-endemic regions, and individuals with limited access to professional development training offered in-person at the ASTMH Annual Meeting.
