Alex Bozzette with Circumnavigators flag

2011 Georgetown Scholar, Alex Bozzette, will be moving to Ecuador in May to serve as a site coordinator for a child vaccination pilot study. Alex’s coursework and research experiences on his topic, Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis, have now led him to an opportunity in Tena, a small jungle city of 30,000 people at the mouth of the Ecuadorian Amazon. Information on his project can be found at www.almasanaproject.org. Alex is grateful to the Foundation for giving him the experience and insights which prepared him for this position.

Luck to you Alex!
