Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Program
About This Program
The Infectious Diseases Fellowship at Memorial Sloan Kettering is the only ACGME-accredited general ID program in the U.S. based primarily at a cancer center. Fellows train at the forefront of immunocompromised host infectious diseases, gaining expertise in infections related to stem cell transplants, immune therapies like CAR T-cells, and HIV and "bread butter" ID. There is also a combined ID-CCM track. For those seeking elite training in a rapidly changing field, there is no other like it.
