Jackie Hodges, Jen Sasson &amp; Brian Grundy<\/p><\/div>\n<p>UVA&#8217;s Infectious Disease Fellowship for MDs is a three-year program that aims to produce world-class physicians dedicated to a career in academic infectious diseases. Our program offers rigorous training and supervised experience with faculty members who have broad clinical and research expertise.<\/p>\n<p>Opportunities abound for rich interdisciplinary research experiences in cutting-edge basic science and translational, clinical, and epidemiologic infectious diseases research. Research takes place in state-of-the-art laboratories, clinics, and hospitals, at UVA and in facilities around the world. Research themes include care for patients with HIV; modeling and outcomes related to critical care and severe sepsis; epidemiology of multi-drug resistant organisms; global health; diagnostics; immunology; host susceptibility to infection; host-pathogen interactions; and pathogenesis of infectious diseases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why UVA?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>UVA Medical Center is the only major tertiary care center in a catchment area of approximately 4,000 square miles offering comprehensive infectious diseases specialty services. Thus we see a variety of interesting and challenging infectious disease cases.<\/li>\n<li>The Charlottesville-Albemarle region has a population of approximately 100,000, and UVA Medical Center receives referrals from a number of nearby cities, including Lynchburg, Roanoke, Staunton and Waynesboro. Trainees thus see patients with infections common to urban settings, including those related to drug use (hepatitis B and C, HIV); bloodstream infections; endocarditis; and infections acquired through close contact in crowded environments, such as influenza, pertussis, and all etiologies of community-acquired pneumonia.<\/li>\n<li>The rural surroundings produce a variety of ID cases arising from the environment, such as endemic mycoses, soil-borne infections like endocardiosis, non-tuberculous mycobacteria, tickborne infections like ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and animal-borne infections like Q fever, cryptococcosis and rabies.<\/li>\n<li>A large local population of immigrants and migrant workers, as well as the many international travelers affiliated with UVA, produce a variety of travel-related illnesses, including common ones such as malaria, tuberculosis, typhoid fever and hepatitis A, and less-common ones such as ascariasis, fascioliasis, tick typhus, and lepromatous leprosy.<\/li>\n<li>Close affiliation between the UVA Ryan White HIV Clinic and the ID Inpatient Consultation Service give trainees experience with an array of HIV-related illnesses related to opportunistic infections, malignancies, and HAART-related complications.<\/li>\n<li>Please read this year\u2019s fellows graduation speech about our fellowship program by Dr. Cassy Salgado, former UVA ID Fellow and current MUSC Director of the Division of Infectious Diseases <a href=\"https:\/\/med.virginia.edu\/infectious-diseases\/2999-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Fellows benefit from training and close collaboration with one of the most distinguished faculties in infectious diseases in the country.
