Major Sanjiv Baxi


Major Sanjiv Baxi, USAF Reserves, Presentation

Major Sanjiv Baxi, a reservist in the USAF medical corps. He currently serves as a flight surgeon in the 349th MDS out of Travis AFB, and supports the scientific committee for the NATO Interallied Conference of Medical Reserve Officers (CIOMR) amongst other responsibilities.

Previously, Baxi served as hospital chief of staff for his squadron, overseeing clinical personnel. He will discuss lessons taken from the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic through to the end of the DoD's mission in 2022.  He will also cover what the future may hold for COVID-19 and pandemics more broadly.  

Major Baxi will contextualize this through his own experiences of leading inter-country digital engagement at the World Health Organization (WHO) at the start of the pandemic.  He supported preparation for the "US Wave" in New York City (NYC) in March 2020 followed by a deployment to the frontline hospitals in NYC during the peak of COVID's impact.  This included vaccine development and roll-out process for both civilian and military.  Baxi returned to the frontline in upstate New to support a very different phase of the DoD's support. 

Major Baxi is currently a board-certified internist, preventionist and specialist in infectious diseases and aerospace medicine. He received his MD and MS in research from the University of Michigan as valedictorian.  He completed residencies in internal and preventive medicine, a clinical fellowship in infectious diseases and a post-doctoral research fellowship in HIV prevention from the University of California, San Francisco.  Additionally he holds an MPH and PhD in epidemiology from the University of California, Berkeley, a masters in military operational art and science from Air University and a certificate in Global Health Engagement from the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences. Most notably, he is married to a gastroenterologist, has two young boys, and a dog who all live in the bay area.
