U.S Navy Lt. Jane Njenga with 2nd Medical Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, poses for a photo on Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, Sept. 26, 2024. During August 2024, Lt. Njenga was part of the Uniformed Services University Health Services Military Tropical Medicine (MTM) program, where she conducted medical research in Honduras. When asked how she plans to use her experiences and new knowledge back in the fleet Njenga shared, “A doctor that we learned from in the program explained how she was able to advise care on an outbreak in Hawaii after we returned from the course based on what we learned in Honduras. If a similar event happens to us, I will be able to advise different avenues of care that we might not have normally thought of because of the experience that I gained from the MTM program.” MTM is a six-week tri-service program that provides specialized training in aspects of medicine unique to tropical areas. It includes lectures from world renowned experts, providing a broad range of topics in infectious disease and tropical medicine. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Mary Kohlmann)
