Medical College of Wisconsin Infectious Diseases Fellowship Program

Clinical training takes place at two main facilities, Froedtert Hospital, and the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center. During the two years, fellows rotate through the clinical services at these hospitals. There are three separate inpatient clinical rotations at Froedtert Hospital including Medical, Surgical, and Transplant focused experiences. The rotation at the Zablocki VA includes significant time in the microbiology lab where fellows become adept at preparation and interpretation of a variety of culture techniques and stains. Further clinical training includes regular participation in outpatient clinic at Froedtert Hospital and either at Zablocki VA one-half day per week or at ARCW; experience at a community STD clinic in Milwaukee; rotations with the Antimicrobial Stewardship team and the microbiology lab; and a Hepatitis C clinic.

Other integral aspects of our training program include regularly scheduled didactic conferences, journal clubs, clinical conferences, and a board review course. Fellow's performance is evaluated monthly by the supervising staff physician and every six months by the Program Director. Those successfully completing the program are presented with a certificate and board-eligible in Infectious Diseases.

Fellows have the opportunity to participate in research projects both in the Division of Infectious Diseases and other departments at the Medical College. Some of the ongoing areas of research in the Division include the study of Borrelia and other spirochetes, immune mechanisms in fungal infections, antimicrobial clinical trials, expanded access and phase III HIV trials, and surveillance activities of the Infection Prevention and Control Program.

The Division of Infectious Disease has three main missions: public service, education, and research. Our public service mission is manifested primarily through our clinical care of patients with infectious diseases, but also through interactions with hospitals and other health care providers, as well as with public health departments and other community agencies.

Our education mission includes efforts across a broad range of learners, including medical students and other professional students, residents and fellows, and education of practicing physicians. Our research includes basic and clinical research in the areas of bacterial infections, fungal infections, hospital and epidemiology and infection control, transplantation, tropical medicine, and bioterrorism.

Our areas of expertise include:

• HIV prevention and care
• Infections in immunocompromised hosts
• AIDS care
• Viral Hepatitis
• Endocarditis
• Fungal Diseases
• Staphylococcal Diseases
• Mycobacterial Diseases
• Osteomyelitis
• Infection Prevention and Control
• Nosocomial Infections
• Travel medicine and related infections

The Infectious Disease training program at Froedtert Hospital provides the following rotations and training opportunities:

• Inpatient Consultation currently consisting of 3 separate services: ID-Medicine/ID-Surgery/ID-Transplant
• Outpatient ambulatory clinic
• Antimicrobial Stewardship
• Microbiology laboratory
• Hepatitis C clinic
• PrEP clinic

The Infectious Disease training program at the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center provides the following specific rotations and training opportunities:

• Inpatient consultation
• Microbiology laboratory
• Outpatient ambulatory clinic

The purpose of the research block or concurrent research time is to provide fellows with structured exposure to clinical research, basic or translational research, and education in research methods. It is also designed to promote resident interest and participation in research activities by providing time and resources for the initiation and completion of research projects.
