2024 GW-NASTAD HIV Summit

GW-NASTAD Clinical Public Health Summit on HIV

NASTAD's 11th Annual Clinical Public Health Summit on HIV will be held from December 18-20, 2024, in Washington, DC.

The Summit, co-created in partnership with George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences offers medical students the chance to develop innovative project proposals that support the Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. (EHE) initiative’s goals and the updated National HIV/AIDS Strategy (2022 – 2025) (NHAS).

In 2024, NASTAD welcomes the MD Class of 2028 at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences to the Summit to learn directly from senior HIV/AIDS officials and experts fighting to end HIV at the federal, state, city, and community levels.
