2020-21 Pre-Doc/Post-Doc Board Members
Hanna Ehrlich, PhD (Candidate)
Yale School of Public Health
Laboratory of Epidemiology and Public Health
60 College St.
New Haven, CT 06510
"I hope to leverage ASTMH’s vast membership network to promote scientific exchange for students across borders. Also, to play a direct role in mentoring the next generation of ASTMH researchers and to help the Society connect qualified applicants to relevant training opportunities across the globe."
Amanda Elyssa Ruiz, PhD (Candidate)
Brown University
Providence, RI
"As the Board Member representing students, trainees, residents and post-docs, I will utilize the position’s platform to be a tireless champion of ASTMH’s goals. I hope to work with the ASTMH leadership to expand professional development resources and opportunities, as well as create a diverse, inclusive and supportive network of tropical medicine and global health researchers. "
In 2018, for the first time in ASTMH’s history, students, trainees, residents and post-docs were elected to the Board of Directors. This was accomplished by the membership, which voted to change the Society’s bylaws and add two voting member seats to the Board filled by pre-docs and/or post-docs. The first election took place in summer 2018 and terms began after the Annual Meeting in New Orleans in October 2018. The Society understands the value and importance of having these voices in this high-level leadership role that focuses on strategy and fiduciary responsibilities.

”Trainees are colleagues of a different age. They have the best ideas, the most energy, and a driving will to ask and answer big questions. The Society gives them opportunities for learning and doing—by networking, presenting their work, and offering some travel and research support. Plus, our pool of mentor-colleagues is unexcelled.” – President Joel G. Breman, MD, DTPH, FIDSA, FASTMH |
