May 14, 2008—Three Pritzker third-year students have been awarded prestigious fellowships to conduct research projects over the course of the 2008–2009 academic year.
Jamie Weiss Krashin will be participating in the CDC Experience in Atlanta, Georgia. Throughout her tenure with the CDC, Jamie’s primary role will be to work with several localities to develop, disseminate, and evaluate an intervention that will increase symptom recognition among men who have sex with men leading to increased detection of primary syphilis.
Zach Rosner will begin a Doris Duke Charitable Foundation International Clinical Research Fellowship in July, spending two months in Boston planning his project. He will then spend eight months conducting a mentored international clinical research experience in sub-Saharan Africa, and will return to Boston in May 2009 to conclude the project.
Josh Wallbrecht will participate in the 2008–2009 Fulbright Program to study in Ecuador in conjunction with Foundation Human Nature (FHN). FHN has established a health center in the community of La Y de la Laguna to serve that community and the surrounding communities. Josh will work with local health providers and the rural doctors and dentists assigned to the clinic to collect data and deliver care. He will educate the population about tools to treat many common ailments within their own homes, thus eliminating their need to travel great distances and endure hardship.
