Convention Chair, Former NAAMA President, NAAMA NextGen Chair & Founder

I am excited to welcome you to NAAMA’s first global health themed convention: Empowering Global Collaboration. In addition to the main programming, the convention will feature two key symposiums: one focusing on solidarity with conflict zone medical schools, and the other on Global Pathology, designed not only for pathologists but also for professionals from various fields. With participation from leading universities and organizations, this convention will be the starting point for building future collaborations that foster equitable partnerships and drive meaningful progress in global health.
