STD Reading Group

This reading group is modeled after the journal clubs held in many of the departments at  the Bloomberg School, and meets monthly during the academic year on Thursday evenings. The seminar is coordinated by one of the senior students, and student presenters work with faculty to select recent and classic papers that are of interest to young investigators. In the 2006-2007 academic year, the group discussed diverse topics, including: the social context of STD acquisition, clinical implications of the HPV vaccine, syphilis elimination, the role of circumcision in HIV prevention strategies, the use of case-crossover designs in STD clinic studies, and HSV/HIV co-infection. All readings may be found on E-Reserves. To be added to the reading group listserv, please  e-mail the student coordinator.
