ID Bootcamp

The first two months of fellowship include an ID Bootcamp – a lecture series designed to introduce fellows to foundational concepts essential for Infectious Diseases training. Core topics included during the Bootcamp include but are not limited to:

  • Antimicrobial stewardship
  • Bone and joint infections
  • HIV and sexually transmitted infections
  • Hospital epidemiology/Infection prevention

This comprehensive orientation is intended to equip fellows with core knowledge needed for success in clinical practice and academic training.
