About This Program
Our curriculum has been structured to allow flexibility in training to maximize your future success; whether your primary goal is to be a clinician, educator or research scientist. The program supplements general ID exposure with outpatient clinic exposures for HIV, Tuberculosis, refugee health, and STDs. For a specific fellow, we established an elective in antibiotic stewardship. We work with you to structure elective months to optimally position you for your chosen career goals. -
