From the program director

Thank you for your interest in the Infectious Diseases Fellowship at Mayo Clinic's campus in Jacksonville, Florida. We're proud to offer an individualized experience designed to provide the best training elements necessary for you to become highly skilled in infectious diseases.

It's our mission to create an environment that fosters lifelong learning of infectious diseases for residents, fellows, and staff, and enables excellence in the provision of patient-centered medicine.

As an infectious diseases fellow, you'll train at one of the largest transplant centers in the world, and gain clinical expertise in emerging subspecialties within infectious diseases including HIV, travel medicine, global health, infection prevention and control, antimicrobial stewardship, infections in the immunocompromised host, and general infectious disease.

You'll spend four months conducting primary research and quality improvement projects during the fellowship with the opportunity to use elective time for more research. The division provides an array of clinical and quality improvement research opportunities, and you'll present your work at local, national, and international meetings, and publish your work in peer-reviewed journals.

Fellows and residents have access to world leaders across many specialty areas throughout their training in Mayo Clinic's multidisciplinary care practice. Whether you want to pursue a career in academic medicine or community private practice, Mayo Clinic will support you. 

We encourage you to learn more about our Infectious Diseases Fellowship and contact us should you have additional questions.
