Keynote Speaker
Ameeta Kalokhe, MD
Assistant Professor, Emory University School of Medicine
Assistant Professor, Rollins School of Public Health
Dr. Kalokhe received her MD from Wayne State University School of Medicine in 2005. She then went on to complete her residency in Internal Medicine in 2008 and fellowship in Infectious Diseases in 2013, both at the Emory University School of Medicine.
She is currently appointed as an Assistant Professor at the Emory University School of Medicine and at the Emory Rollins School of Public Health. She is also a current Faculty Fellow at the Emory Global Health Institute.
Dr. Kalokhe has made many contributions to the field of public and global health. Her research explores the public health implications of HIV and AIDS while also proposing global health interventions regarding the prevalence and prevention of gender-based violence in India.
