Fellowship Program Conferences
Fellows are encouraged and supported to attend national meetings such as IDSA, SHEA, CROI, and ICAAC, with opportunities to present scholarly work. The ID division provides funding for attendance (without requirement of presentation of scholarly activity) at one national conference during fellowship.
Research and Scholarly Projects
Fellows are encouraged to explore their curiosity and turn real-world clinical questions into meaningful research. With support from dedicated faculty mentors, fellows can get involved in everything from case reports and quality improvement projects to clinical and lab-based research.
You will have dedicated research time built into your schedule to focus on your projects, analyze data, and prepare presentations or publications.
Our division has a strong research network — including experienced research nurses, coordinators and lab facilities — to help you every step of the way.
Many fellows present their work at conferences or publish during training, gaining valuable experience that helps launch their academic or clinical careers.
The UMMC Infectious Diseases Fellowship offers a flexible, comprehensive, and mentorship-driven curriculum that balances clinical excellence with academic growth—preparing fellows for successful careers in clinical practice, public health or academic medicine.
