Discussants
IAS–USA Dialogues are spirited, timely conversations on the public health, scientific, and clinical aspects of current urgent outbreaks, including seasonal viruses such as influenza, emerging infectious disease threats in the US and around the world, controversies surrounding trustworthy guidance on vaccinations, and other topics of the day. Registration is now open for our December event!
Program Description
Experts discuss current “hot-button” issues and answer audience questions. The conversations are available on-demand and in podcast format after broadcast on the IAS−USA website, with the warning that the shelf life of information on urgent outbreaks is often quickly outdated as scientific knowledge evolves. What we know today may well be different from what we know tomorrow. A wide range of topics may be covered, such as:
- Climate change and disease outbreaks: how could global warming and El Niño affect human health?
- Vaccination controversies: the politicization of the vaccination schedule, the ongoing resurgence of measles, and declining vaccine confidence
- Global outbreaks: Ebola outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda; cholera outbreaks in Sudan, Chad, and other African nations
- Emerging US health threats: chikungunya, Chagas, leishmaniasis, malaria, Dengue fever, and other diseases that were once considered nonendemic in the US are occurring with increasing frequency
The Dialogue series is intended for health care clinicians and researchers, including infectious diseases and HIV specialists. The conversations are available on-demand after broadcast on the IAS−USA website and are featured in episodes of the IAS–USA Going anti-Viral podcast, with the warning that the shelf life of information on urgent infectious diseases is often quickly outdated as scientific knowledge evolves. What we know today may well be different from what we know tomorrow.
CME credit is not available for IAS–USA Dialogues.
