Infectious Disease Research
All fellows are expected to participate in research during their two years in the program. Although most fellows choose to participate in clinical research, bench research opportunities are available. These projects usually lead to the submission of abstracts to a major ID meeting and may result in a manuscript submission to a peer-reviewed journal.
