Curriculum and Training

The curriculum emphasizes a thorough understanding of infections in both adult and pediatric populations. Trainees engage in a variety of patient consultations addressing a spectrum of infectious diseases, including chronic and unusual infections, antibiotic-resistant conditions, and tropical diseases. Fellows participate in the Comprehensive Antibiotic Program (CAP) which aims to optimize antibiotic usage and combat resistance.

Another focal point of the training is infectious disease consultations, allowing fellows to work directly with patients exhibiting complex conditions such as endocarditis, tuberculosis, and Lyme disease. The program also runs internationally-relevant training through partnered clinics, offering fellows hands-on experience in global health matters.

Clinical Rotations

Rotational training occurs at various clinics, including the Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinics in Concord and Lebanon, New Hampshire. These clinics feature specialized programs such as Outpatient Parenteral Antibiotic Treatment (OPAT), International Travel Clinics, and a Regional HIV Program, providing exposure across different settings of infectious disease practice.
