Fellowship Alumni Clinical practice sites Academic practice sites Alumni Testimonials: "The USF Infectious Disease & International Medicine program has really prepped me well for private practice! I would like to thank all of the attendings once again. The program had just the right combination of academic and interesting cases but yet 'bread & butter' routine infectious diseases. I can now appreciate all of the weekly lectures & presentations. All of the attendings has had a unique impact on my knowledge base. I felt 'comfortable' immediately upon entering the private world, in fact I had a vast of new & 'cutting edge' knowledge that I was able to share with my collegues. I often receive statements from other physicians such as 'you seemed to have trained at a good program.' I am very proud of our program."   Juan D. Diaz, DO, Class of 2007   "The USF Infectious Disease fellowship program provided me with all the essential tools to provide excellent care and expertise in the area of infectious disease. The faculty were not only excellent mentors but they were better human beings. We were not only fellows, we were a family. The pathology we were exposed to during my two years was incredible. From the simple community-acquired pneumonia to Hansen’s disease (Mycobacterium leprosy). Now that I am in private practice, I can really appreciate everything that was taught to me during those two years. I can definitely say, it was worth it! I would recommend this program to young physicians who are interested in pursuing a career in infectious disease. It will not only make you a better doctor, but as I like to think of it 'A Super Internist.' " Anibal Maldonado, MD, Class of 2007       Fellowship Training is based on six general concepts: Patient care Dedicated research time Education objectives Curriculum development Regular evaluation of fellows, faculty and the program
