Regardless of where in the world one is advocating, interactions with policymakers rely on shared interest in science policy, clear messaging, patience in the process and a high level of organization.

ASM CPEP fellowships prepare graduates for a wide range of leadership positions in clinical microbiology. Paige Larkin discusses her experience as a CPEP fellow, career options, and how to prepare for the fellowships.
