Infectious diseases fellow success during + after training
Fellows from the Infectious Diseases Fellowship at Tufts Medical Center achieve great things—during training and throughout their careers. Most importantly, they are highly competitive for the jobs they want after fellowship.
During training, our fellows present their research at major national and international conferences, including:
- ASM Microbe
- IDWeek (the joint meeting of several infectious diseases societies, including the Infectious Diseases Society of America)
- Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) annual meeting
- Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI)
- American Society for Transplantation
Each fellow is sponsored to attend at least one major meeting, and many have received awards for their presentations. Fellows also take part in research that leads to publications and successful applications for NIH loan repayment and career development awards (K series).
We offer a two-year curriculum of didactic lectures to prepare fellows for the infectious diseases boards and build a strong academic foundation.
Graduates of our program go on to lead in many areas of medicine. Former fellows have become medical school deans, department chairs and vice chairs, chiefs of infectious diseases and leaders in national professional societies. Whether your goal is academic medicine, research, public health or clinical leadership, Tufts Medical Center helps you get there.
