President Donald J. Trump has nominated Susan Monarez, PhD, to be the next director of the CDC.
Monarez takes the place of David Weldon, MD, whose nomination was withdrawn by the White House earlier this month, just hours before he was set to appear before a Senate committee.
“I am proud to announce that Dr. Susan Monarez is my Nominee to serve as the next Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),” Trump shared in a post on Truth Social. “Dr. Monarez brings decades of experience championing innovation, transparency, and strong public health systems.”
