Last week, we shared that registration for the Nebraska Infectious Diseases Society’s (NIDS) annual meeting was officially open. In case you missed it, this great conference will be held on Friday, August 23rd, at the Thompson Alumni Center on UNO’s main campus (6705 Dodge St. Omaha, NE 68182). This is always a fantastic opportunity to engage with fellow professionals and experts in the ID field and share your work in their anticipated annual poster session.
This year, the keynote address will be delivered by Dr. Mati Hlatshwayo Davis, an internationally recognized infectious diseases physician and an expert on public health and health equity as well as Director of Health for the City of St. Louis. Additionally, Dr. Hlatshwayo Davis is heavily involved in the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), where she serves on the IDSA Board of Directors, is an Associate Editor for Disparities and Competent Care for IDSA, and is the Executive Producer and Co-host for IDSA’s “Let’s Talk” podcast. This is a highly anticipated event; Dr. Jonathan Ryder commented, “Having heard Dr. Mati Hlatshawayo Davis speak at other conferences, she is an engaging, charismatic, and passionate speaker with a wealth of expertise in the sphere of public health. I’m excited to hear her perspective on how, as an infectious diseases community, we can better engage in public health, as well as hear updates from the Infectious Diseases Society of America, where she serves as a member of the board.”
No doubt, Dr. Hlatshwayo Davis will deliver a fantastic keynote address to complement what will be a valuable and insightful meeting. Don’t miss out, register now to secure your spot! Details below:
