Why did you choose WashU Medicine for your ID fellowship?

“I chose WashU for fellowship because of the diverse array of clinical infectious disease. As a major referral center for the Midwest, there’s a unique opportunity to see the intersection of urban and rural pathology which provides a truly comprehensive training experience. Additionally, the support offered by the program and the regard for fellow wellness is unparalleled.”
