This post is especially for AMSA/PHR/AMA local medical school chapters in the US. My goal as regional coordinator is that the materials assembled here allow for a quick, high-yield World TB Day of outreach.
World TB Day is March 24, 2009. Many of you may have events planned already. For those who do and do not, I have assembed some materials to hand out to classmates and professors.
Setting up a table can be quick, easy, and high-impact!
Consider setting up a World TB Day Table with these and other items relevant to your community. I created a MS-Powerpoint presentation to show or to print out with key, succinct messages related to TB advocacy. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
The materials can be downloaded as a ZIP file from this website:

Additionally, these two links would be great for handouts at a World TB Day:

Please report if you were able to set up a table, presentation, etc., even if unrelated to the materials that I have included in this post. We are stopping TB.
