The purpose of the Infectious Diseases Society of St. Louis (IDSSL) is to promote professional education, cooperation and fellowship among its members, and to provide members with new information and techniques in the treatment of infectious diseases.
The IDSSL is officially designated as a member of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) State and Regional Societies Assembly, which allows us to share issues of interest to IDSA societies. We are pleased to provide a venue for education and exchange of ideas among members and associates. We also help coordinate CME accredited meetings on timely topics with guest speakers. Your participation in our local society and the programs offered is of the utmost importance to us.
