Dr. Anthony Martinez

We are proud to recognize Dr. Anthony Martinez, graduate of Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara, for his outstanding role at the Doing It in the Desert: Viral Hepatitis & STI Elimination Conference (DID), held in Phoenix, Arizona

About the Conference
“Doing It in the Desert” gathered clinicians, researchers, and public health leaders from across the country to share innovative solutions and operational tools for tackling infectious diseases. The event placed special focus on bridging the gap between research and practice providing real-world strategies for reaching communities most affected by hepatitis C, HIV, and substance use disorders.

Dr. Martinez’s Contribution
As a featured speaker, Dr. Martinez shared his pioneering work in integrating liver care with addiction services. He highlighted his leadership at “La Bodega,” a clinic model that co-localizes hepatology and substance use treatment under one roof. This approach has provided thousands of patients with access to hepatitis C treatment while addressing the complex needs of those living with substance use disorders.

Through his presentation, Dr. Martinez demonstrated how integrated care models not only improve patient outcomes but also play a crucial role in advancing the national goal of hepatitis elimination. His session offered practical insights into scaling these strategies, reducing barriers to care, and ensuring that vulnerable populations are not left behind.

Why It Matters

Dr. Martinez’s work reflects the spirit of the DID conference: turning evidence-based research into action that impacts lives. His expertise, grounded in both clinical research and compassionate care, makes him a leader in shaping the future of liver health.

As a proud UAG alumnus, Dr. Martinez exemplifies the values of innovation, service, and excellence in medicine. His voice at this conference underscores the importance of collaborative approaches to public health and reminds us that meaningful progress begins with models that put patients first.

UAG celebrates Dr. Anthony Martinez for his leadership and his ongoing contributions to the fields of hepatology and infectious disease. His participation in Doing It in the Desert is a testament to the global impact our graduates continue to make.
