Infectious Disease Seminar Series

This conference is held every second and fourth Monday of the week, and is an opportunity for board review topics, faculty research topics, QI projects from Hospital Epidemiology and ASP, updates from National Meetings (CROI, SHEA, ID Week), and special guest lectures. In addition to topic discussions, difficult Infectious Disease and HIV cases are discussed in a multidisciplinary format.

Monday:12:15 p.m. – 1:15 p.m.

Infectious Disease Clinical Case Conference

Weekly conferences that are conducted by the ID Fellow and IM residents. Two cases are discussed in detail each week with lively discussion from those in attendance.

Wednesday:12:15 p.m. -1:15 p.m.

Infectious Disease Journal Club

Clinical review of two Infectious Disease articles presented by both fellows and faculty mentor. The faculty will serve as a mentor for the fellow in selection of an appropriate article and to review any questions which may arise.

Department of Medicine Grand Rounds

The Department has weekly grand rounds.

Microbiology Rounds

An opportunity to round with the clinical microbiologist and review the various cases seen by the Infectious Diseases consult services. This is a great opportunity to view up close various fungi, and bacteria on microscopy and plates.

Second and Fourth Thursday of the Month: 1 p.m. – 2 p.m.

Breakfast Club

This is a pot-luck breakfast club in which the fellows on a rotating basis bring breakfast, and is a didactic session dedicated for fellows only.

First and Third Wednesday: 8 a.m. – 9 a.m. (from January to June)

ID Bootcamp

This will be during the first 3 months of fellowship with introductory lectures to be done by the faculty as you begin your fellowship.

Infectious Disease Clinical Case Conference

Infectious disease fellows and faculty coordinate and facilitate an Infectious Disease Clinical Case Conference, topics of which typically focus on a recent challenging patient case. A review of the literature on some aspect of the case follows. Occasionally outside speakers are invited. Clinical microbiologists, pathologists and pharmacists also regularly participate in this conference. Once a month, Clinical Microbiology Laboratory faculty members, members of the Hospital Epidemiology Department or members of the Pharmacy Department present a didactic conference. Specific basic science and microbiology principles, particularly as related to laboratory procedures or clinical issues in hospital epidemiology, are presented.

Occurs: Wednesdays, 12:15 p.m.
Introductory Lecture Series
Research Principles (Journal Club)

Research principles (journal club) focuses on recent literature, both to update medical knowledge and to promote critical reading skills. Twice a month, a fellow and a member of the faculty each present an article from the current literature. The article can involve any aspect of infectious diseases. The entire infectious disease faculty attends and a discussion of the article ensues after initial presentation.

Occurs: Second and fourth Fridays of the month, 8 a.m.
Tuesday Conference

Divisional Lectures

One of the major goals of the Division of Infectious Diseases is the education of medical students, residents and fellows. To carry this out, the entire infectious disease faculty participates in a series of lectures.

Medical Student Lectures

Faculty present lectures to the pre-clinical med I and med II students. These lectures are scheduled as they fit into organ-specific or pathogenesis driven curriculum modules in the pre-clinical program. Because the faculty attends on the inpatient service and the infectious diseases consult service, they conduct many clinical teaching sessions for med III and med IV students.
Resident and Fellows Lectures

The faculty also conducts clinical teaching sessions for the internal medicine residents and the infectious disease fellows. Infectious disease faculty members are a regular part of the Internal Medicine Intern and Resident Morning Report Program. A separate series of lectures on important infectious disease issues is integrated into the internal medicine residents’ noon conference program. There, the division faculty address more cutting-edge infectious disease issues by providing internal experts and recruiting national experts for the Department of Internal Medicine’s Grand Rounds.

Infectious disease faculty members augment their clinical teaching of fellows with a weekly Principles of Infectious Diseases book club, a directed and annotated reading of a standard infectious diseases textbook, as well as a weekly journal club, called Research Principles. The division’s weekly Clinical Case Conference serves both as a venue for demonstrating what is state-of-the-art in diagnosis and management of infectious diseases, and as a forum for the infectious disease fellows to develop and display their skills in critical analysis of the medical literature in the solution of subspecialty level clinical problems.
