PASS is in the process of reimagining our volunteer medical advisory board, made up of public and sexual health practitioners and researchers, and we are actively seeking new members.

The advisory board is responsible for the following scope of work:

• Two virtual meetings a year to review and update PASS policies and procedures. This will primarily focus on STIs and other infectious disease work clearance, however, it may include additional population health needs as they are identified.

• Ad hoc consultation on non-routine population health concerns, including novel or emergent threats (e.g. COVID-19, Mpox, Mycoplasma genitalium).

Requirement for advisory board membership”

• Professional experience in a relevant field (infectious disease, clinical diagnostics, occupational health, etc.) We are particularly interested in people with experience in epidemiology, social determinants of health, and health informatics. 

• Experience working with marginalized populations.

• Willingness to participate in consensus decision-making.

• Willingness to be publicly affiliated with the adult industry.

The board’s next meeting is scheduled for August 2023.
