About This Program
Our program is based at a tertiary care referral center covering large parts of Georgia and part of South Carolina. Our institution has multiple surgical services and sub-specialties, ICUs, and Hematology/Oncology BMT and Renal transplantation services. The outpatient experience involves general ID care as well as caring for persons living with HIV in our Ryan White Clinic. All of these opportunities allow for a well-rounded training experience.
