 Hello, I am David Riedel, Director of the Infected Disease Fellowship Program at the University of Maryland. I'm happy to welcome you to our website and program. The University of Maryland ID program is set up in a unique way. We have clinical rotations in cancer ID, transplant ID, surgical and general ID, ICU ID, and our fellows spend time among various medical services like the Baltimore VA, the shock trauma system, the microbiology laboratory, infection control and hospital epidemiology, and antibiotic stewardship. Our faculty and fellows work with a number of unique institutes and centers here at the University of Maryland. We work in the Center for Vaccine Development and Global Health, the Institute of Human Biology, and the Center for International Health, Education and Biosecurity. Our clinical services are designed with faculty who specialize in the infectious disease subspecialty areas. Our fellows work hand in hand with experts in their field. We have a large and diverse group of faculty and fellows here at the University of Maryland. Our graduates have gone on to many illustrious careers in academics, in international health, in government, and also in clinical practice. Our job as a program is to help you get ready to launch your career in infectious disease. Our program is designed to be flexible and to accommodate the needs of each and every fellow. If you are ready to have an incredible experience in infectious disease, please send in your application today. We are looking forward to reviewing your application and meeting you in person.
