For Patients and Referring Physicians: Expect the bestReferring physicians: click here for referral information.
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 transplants.
Please see the "Patient Information" page to learn how to make appointments.
For Trainees and Researchers: Everything you need to succeed
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 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. Our research budget of over $4 million includes $1 million for research training-related activities to help our fellows become independently funded academic researchers. To this end we provide structured, mentored research training as well as funded higher education for MPH, MS or PhD degrees at the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences in Boston, MA.
Please visit the "Training for Residents and Fellows" page to learn more about our outstanding fellowship program.
The "Research" and "Publications" pages show the high productivity and breadth of projects ongoing in our division, with exciting opportunities for fellows.
For the Hospital Community: Patient safety is #1
We promote patient safety through our infection control
and epidemiology efforts. Our Antimicrobial Management Team helps control the spread of resistant microbes by promoting appropriate use of antibiotics. We provide collegial, same-day inpatient consultations to our physician colleagues on any aspect of prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, with close communication and coordination with multiple specialists. We are available for emergency consultation 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
