January Membership Meeting and Luncheon

On January 18, 2017, our Winter Meeting and Luncheon was held at Capital City Club Downtown. Our speaker, Jonathan Mermin, MD, MPH, is the Director of the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB prevention at the CDC.

Dr. Merlin presented two infection scenarios and asked the audience the steps they would take to determine the nature of these potential outbreaks and how to contain them. After the engaging participation, Dr. Merlin outlined the steps CDC would take to investigate and combat a public health emergency.

We certainly appreciate the works and preparedness of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that help make us safe. This was a meeting not to be missed.

Eleven of our ARCS Light recipients were present

Thank you very much for your support. It meant a lot. I had the opportunity to return to Tech as a faculty member last year. I’m very happy to be back and hope I can advise a future ARCS scholar soon!
