Infectious Diseases

David R. Snydman, MD Chief, Division of Geographic Medicine and Infectious Diseases	Welcome! We are an international center of excellence in infectious disease inpatient and outpatient treatment, research, teaching, and infectious disease fellowship training.  Everything we do is centered on improving health and preventing infectious diseases at the level of the patient, the hospital, and the global community.

For Patients and Referring Physicians: Expect the best

Please see the Patient Information page for appointments.

Expect comprehensive, compassionate and confidential care for every type of infectious disease, both in the inpatient and outpatient settings. We solve problems and are here to help with the most up-to-date practices.  Communication with your other doctors is our highest priority.  If we meet you as an inpatient, we are happy to follow you after discharge in our outpatient clinic until your problem is resolved.  Outpatient specialties include any infectious disease, comprehensive HIV care, travel medicine, complex wound care, outpatient IV antibiotics, and the evaluation of patients before and after solid organ or bone marrow transplantation.  

Our state of the art research in bacterial, HIV, other viral and parasitic disease spans basic science, clinical research, outcomes, and translational research both in the US and multiple international sites.

The Division’s high standards for medical training are combined with a rich environment of teaching at all levels, including our ACGME-acredited Infectious Disease Fellowship. Our research budget of over $4 million includes $1 million for structured, mentored research training to help our fellows become independently funded academic researchers.  To this end we also provide funded higher education for MPH, MS or PhD degrees at the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences in Boston, MA.
