The Washington Blade reports that Dr. Shannon Hader has been selected to be the new Director of the DC HIV/AIDS Administration. The position has been vacant since January when Mayor Adrian Fenty took office and chose not to keep Dr. Marsha Martin in the position. Since January, Director of the Department of Health Gregg Pane has served as Interim Director, juggling this role with his other responsibilities.

Here's what google tells us about Dr. Hader ...... Dr. Shannon Hader earned an M.D. at Columbia University and trained in internal medicine and pediatrics at Duke University Medical School and in infectious diseases at Emory University Hospitals.

According to this biography of Dr. Hader, In 2001 she took a job as an epidemic intelligence service officer with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Hader went on to serve as the Director of the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) office in Zimbabwe. Dr. Hader has served as an adjunct clinical faculty member at Emory University School of Medicine. An accomplished researcher, she has worked on numerous HIV/AIDS research studies.(If you want to search for articles she's published search "Hader, SL").

She was licensed to practice medicine in Atlanta Georgia, but more recently was licensed in Dulles, Virginia.

That's all I found for now, I'm sure we'll learn more about Dr. Hader in the weeks and months ahead. Check out the Washington Blade article for more.
