Infectious Diseases Fellowship

Why Choose Our Program?

The University of Rochester’s Infectious Diseases Program offers world-class training to a highly diverse group of fellows every year.

Our fellows are able to see and manage bread and butter infectious diseases such as Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia along with more complex diseases such as MDR-pseudomonas and AIDS related opportunistic infections.

An experienced and dedicated faculty help guide our fellows through not only clinical infectious diseases but a vast array of research opportunities in antimicrobial stewardship, vaccinology, STI epidemiology/management, emerging infectious diseases, and the human microbiome.

Lastly, our fellows are able to enjoy everything Rochester and Upstate NY has to offer in their free time from having lunch on the Erie Canal to hiking Letchworth State Park!

What Our Fellows are Saying

I chose the University of Rochester because it is at the cutting edge of the infectious disease research, specifically HIV, vaccines, and influenza. There are opportunities to explore and train in all the crucial areas of ID including HIV, STD, transplant, antibiotics stewardship, infection prevention, and travel medicine.... I chose UR because of the friendly environment and of course the beauty of the city.
