E-MEETING: Pandemic Response in the Bay Area

Enjoy lunch wherever you are while you join us online to hear today’s speaker.

Andi Tenner, MD, MPH, FACEP is helping lead the response by San Francisco General Hospital to the growing threat of the novel coronavirus. In a time when terms like "flattening the curve", "R naught", and "personal protective equipment" can be heard over (virtual) dinner conversations, it can be hard to keep up. Dr. Tenner will help you wade through all of the information (and mis-information) to better understand COVID-19, how we got here, and how we get out. 

Dr. Tenner attended Baylor College of Medicine for medical school, University of Illinois at Chicago for her combined residency in emergency medicine and internal medicine, and Columbia University to complete a fellowship in International Emergency Medicine and an MPH with a focus on forced migration and humanitarian crisis. She also holds a Certificate of Knowledge in Clinical Tropical Medicine and Travelers’ Health from the American Society for Tropical Health and Hygiene. She is now the Global Health Fellowship Director and is a UCSF Global Health Sciences Affiliate Faculty Member. She also serves as one of the Medical Health Operations Area Coordinators for the City and County of San Francisco Department of Emergency Management. 

Her interests include disaster preparedness and response, strengthening health and emergency care systems in the pre- and post-disaster setting, and tropical infectious disease. She has worked in multiple countries in South America and sub-Saharan Africa. Her field experience includes working in an active conflict zone in South Kivu in the Democratic Republic of Congo, responding to a building collapse in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, and overseeing Ebola Isolation Units for the International Rescue Committee in Sierra Leone.  Additionally she has served as an instructor teaching disaster management principles for the US Department of State Office of Antiterrorism Assistance’s Senior Crisis Management Seminar.
