Research Committee report: poster accepted for ISTM10

We are pleased to announce that the Clinical Trials group of the Research Committee has had its first study’s results accepted as a poster session at ISTM10.  The poster is titled “European and North American Travelers’ Preferences in the Treatment and Prevention of Diarrhea” by N Melgarejo, T Jelinek, AE McCarthy, CD Ericsson and the International Society of Travel Medicine Clinical Research Group.  Dr. Melgarejo is a resident in internal medicine at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston. His primary interests are in infectious diseases and international medicine. Please drop by and support his budding career.

This is a reminder that the clinical research group can facilitate meaningful research across multiple travel medicine clinics.  If any member has ideas for a research project they should contact either Thomas Jelinek (jelinek@bctropen.de) or Charlie Ericsson (charles.d.ericsson@uth.tmc.edu).
