Dr. Sunny Lai will be pursuing HIV clinical training at the Jefferson Infectious Disease Associates (part of the Jefferson Health system), the Kendig Comprehensive HIV Primary Care Clinic, and the Mazzoni Center under the mentorship of Lisa A. Spacek, MD, PhD. Dr. Lai is eager to further her training in HIV, along with addiction, LGBTQ health, and advocacy.

Dr. Lai completed her residency in Family and Community Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University. She received her medical degree from the University of California, San Francisco and Master of Public Health from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Dr. Lin Mel’s primary training site will be the Ponce De Leon Center with Grady Health Systems under the mentorship of Drs. Aley Kalapila, MD, and Minh Ly Nguyen, MD. He became interested in the HIV epidemic and its history in college and pursued a family residency in Atlanta so that he could explore training opportunities in HIV primary care. He’s excited to deepen his understanding of the HIV epidemic in Atlanta and the South through the HIVMA Clinical Fellowship. Dr. Mel received his medical degree from Virginia Commonwealth University and completed his residency in Family Medicine at Emory University.
The Clinical Fellowship program is entering its thirteenth year, and the HIV Medicine Association is proud of the contribution that the program has made to strengthen the HIV workforce in communities most in need of HIV medical providers. Twenty-four physicians have completed the program and are providing HIV or working in public health.
