 I'm Cal Panicherry Wolff. I'm an infectious disease physician, a clinical assistant professor in the School of Medicine at the University of Maryland. I'm also the director of the integrated Lyme program. I take care of a number of different patients both in the inpatient setting and the outpatient setting. So in the outpatient setting I see primarily Lyme patients and in the inpatient setting I see patients who are critically ill in the ICU as well as patients with surgically related infections. I think what I loved about infectious diseases is that you couldn't really make people feel better and and and cure a lot of people right with antibiotics who have infections. The other part of infectious diseases that I really enjoyed was the detective work. So you know infectious diseases we don't do procedures we don't you know operate however you know we collect data and we analyze data and we try to figure things out and for me that's just highly enjoyable and I also really love working with patients in terms of kind of seeing them get better and with infectious diseases I feel that we can do that. I have an interest in integrative medicine and a lot of integrative modalities can be used for patients who have either acute Lyme disease or have post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome. I went to medical school at SUNY Stony Brook which is located in Long Island in New York and after I finished my medical training I went to do an internal medicine residency at St. Luke's Hospital in Manhattan and after that I did a three-year fellowship in infectious diseases at Einstein which is located in the Bronx in New York and after that I did a critical care fellowship for a year at Mount Sinai and then I practiced for a period of time and then my interests really grew towards integrative medicine and so I did a two-year fellowship with Andrew Weil at the University of Arizona.
