Tulane School of Public Health & Tropical Medicine 1440 Canal St, New Orleans, LA, United States
Tulane University’s Schools of Medicine and of Public Health and Tropical Medicine were founded in 1834, from the university’s founding physicians’ desire to study andcontrol public health threats in the environments in which they occur. The course is designed for medical professionals, epidemiologists, and student trainees and includes field and laboratory sessions and short talks on malaria, dengue and Chagas disease from experts in medical entomology and clinical care. We will also address preventative options against vectors and discuss current issues affecting vector-borne disease expansion, including climate change.
Note: This one day pre-meeting course is given on the first day of the 2024 Meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene which is from 13-17 Nov 24 at the New Orleans Ernest M. Morial Convention Center.
