Jocelyn Ramos Gonzales (she/they) is a survivor advocate for We Are TB, a member of the Curry International TB Center’s Western Region Advisory Committee, and a first-year medical student at the University of Washington School of Medicine. She and her family underwent treatment for TB in 2015, and her father’s story continues to be a primary motivator for her pursuit of medical education and TB advocacy.
This didactic will also include a review of current national and WA State TB trends, presented by Kelsey Hewson, an Epidemiologist for the Tuberculosis Program at the Washington State Department of Health. She started working in TB in January of 2021 after graduating from the University of Washington MPH program. Although she is relatively new to TB, she is excited and eager to learn more!
