ASTMH is pleased to invite applications for its inaugural Virtual Professional Development Learning Series, a new initiative designed to strengthen the skills and expand the networks of early-career scientists, clinicians and public health professionals worldwide.
This eight-month pilot program will bring together up to 60 participants for a six-part webinar series delivered across 2026, with two sessions offered each quarter (Q1–Q3).
