The Rochester General Hospital Infectious Diseases Fellowship program’s goal is to provide a multifaceted and dynamic training experience for budding infectious diseases physicians. During the two-year training program, the ID fellows provide care for patients with a range of infectious diseases conditions and obtain learning experiences in hospital epidemiology, antibiotic stewardship and OPAT. You will have the opportunity to work closely within a passionate multidisciplinary team of physicians, clinical pharmacists, infection preventionists, and microbiologists.
Apply now through ERASDear colleague! Welcome to our program.
Our fellowship program aims to create an environment that prepares leaders in integrative and innovative general Infectious Diseases care. We are here to support realization of your educational and professional goals.
We offer robust training in clinical infectious diseases in a busy healthcare system encompassing several hospitals. Rochester General Hospital has an LVAD service, oncology/hematology wards, several ICUs, and is on track to establish a stem cell transplant program. Unity hospital offers comprehensive hepatitis and HIV care clinic. You will have the opportunity to work hand-in-hand with our superb, innovative infection preventionists and the IDSA designated Center of Excellence antibiotics stewardship program members. At the trying time of the COVID-19 pandemic, our department participated as a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and therapeutics clinical trials site. We make a difference.
Our program's values reflect the personal values of our members: community-orientation, inclusiveness, quality improvement, and pursuit of knowledge and innovations. Above all, we strive to prepare specialists who can make their communities healthier. We encourage fellow participation in quality improvement projects within rotations intended to develop leadership skills, a must-have aptitude for infectious disease specialists.
In 2013, I rotated at Rochester General Hospital as a fellow. Two years later, I had the honor to join my teachers as an infectious diseases consultant and worked my way to the supervisor of the Outpatient Parenteral Antibiotics Therapy (OPAT) service and the program director. Take advantage of our novelty program and work with our topmost experienced educators and impactful mentors. My rotation at RGH as a fellow influenced my personal and professional development, and I hope you can have the same experience here.
