Welcome to the Infectious Diseases Fellowship

Infectious Diseases Fellowship

THAA exterior

Welcome to our Infectious Diseases Fellowship at Trinity Health Ann Arbor Hospital. We are excited to open a window into our fellowship experience!

We are a collaborative team of Clinicians, Teachers, Mentors and Clinical Researchers dedicated to guiding students, residents and our fellows through the field of Infectious Diseases. We are passionate and excited about the many facets of infectious diseases – from Antimicrobial Stewardship and Infection Prevention to HIV Disease Management and Global ID.

Our faculty of nine ID clinicians and one ID Pharmacist have interesting and varied backgrounds in the field. We practice in a 548-bed hospital where we have a very active ID case load – with interesting cases daily including: HIV and opportunistic infections, oncologic infections, fungal, parasitic, and viral infections. We have a dedicated Fellow rounding service in addition to 2 other rounding services. This allows our fellows the unique opportunity to see an optimal case load of interesting clinical patients with plenty of time to learn with faculty and to teach residents and medical students. We are proud of our outstanding Antimicrobial Stewardship and Infection Prevention programs led by 2 clinical faculty and our ID pharmacist. We interact regularly with and are supported by an excellent clinical microbiology and pathology department as well.

Our first-year fellow rotates through Microbiology, Antimicrobial Stewardship, Infection Prevention and spends 3 months engaging in clinical research guided by faculty mentors, including independent research and quality improvement projects. The second-year fellow has the unique opportunities to spend one month at Henry Ford Health in the ID Solid Organ Transplant service as well as one month with Karmanos/Wayne State University working with the Bone Marrow Transplant team. Additionally at Wayne State University, the second-year fellow will spend two weeks with the Detroit Sexually Transmitted Infections Clinic and Tuberculosis Clinic. Our fellows are offered a funded elective month in Nepal learning in an Academic Teaching Hospital and a world-renowned Travel Medicine Hospital.

We prioritize evidence-based learning and protect our fellows time for 5 hours of dedicated lectures weekly throughout both years, including:

  • ID case conference (weekly, shared with Southeast Michigan ID programs),
  • Microbiology rounds (weekly, lead by our Microbiologist and lead Pathologist),
  • Infectious Diseases Faculty Lectures (weekly)
  • ID Board Review (1-2 times monthly with weekly virtual contact)
  • TB Case Conference (monthly)
  • Internal Medicine/ID Conference (once monthly)

In the first year of training, our fellows present one IM/ID conference and in their second year they present one Grand Rounds lecture.

Our fellows are active researchers, presenting at either SHEA and/or IDSA regularly and occasionally at ASTMH or another conference of their choice (ex. CROI, ISTM)

Above all, we are proud of the enjoyable learning environment and healthy life-work balance our fellows experience. We share in a happy ID community of faculty, nurses and support staff, fellows, pharmacists.
