The American Committee on Clinical Tropical Medicine and Travelers' Health's Students/Trainees Leadership Group launched its essay contest in 2025 to encourage the involvement of emerging voices in tropical medicine in key issues shaping the field's present and future. The following authors won for their essays addressing the following prompt: "Tropical Medicine in the 21st Century" These essays were reviewed by a panel of clinician judges with experience in tropical medicine and writing, and the winning entries reflect both academic excellence and practical insight. Together, the two winning essays reveal the wide scope of tropical medicine, from policy and prevention to diagnosis and treatment, and the shared responsibility to confront these challenges wherever they arise.
