Rathore attends international and two national meetings this fall

Mobeen Rathore, M.D., a professor and division chief of pediatric infectious diseases and immunology, attended, by invitation, one international and two national meetings this fall. The American Ambassador to the Bahamas requested his presence at the 4th Annual Meeting of the Chiefs of the American Diplomatic Missions in the Caribbean to “engender leadership for reducing stigma and discrimination and strengthening public/private partnerships in HIV care.”

At the American Academy of Pediatrics Leadership Conference for Adolescent HIV Prevention, Rathore helped develop strategies aimed at preventing high risk behaviors in adolescents that result in HIV infection. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention asked him to participate in its National Consultation Meeting for HIV Screening Recommendations for Adults, Adolescents and Pregnant Women in the Health Care Setting.
