Overview of the Infectious Diseases Fellowship Training Program

The Fellowship Training Program is based in the three major teaching hospitals of the NYU School of Medicine: the NYU Langone Medical Center, the Bellevue Hospital Center, and the Department of Veteran's Affairs Hospital.  The three hospitals serve diverse patient populations: the NYU Langone Medical Center serves tertiary care patients, including solid organ transplants, as well as patients with HIV and community-acquired infectious diseases; Bellevue serves an urban public hospital population that includes recent immigrants, and serves as a referral hospital within the NYC public hospital system for cardiovascular and neurosurgical patients.  Fellows may have their continuity clinics at either Bellevue or the VA.

The goals of the Infectious Diseases Fellowship Training Program are:

  • to provide clinical training in an intellectually-stimulating environment, with diverse clinical problems and patients
  • to prepare fellows for future leadership in clinical infectious disease patient care
  • to provide mentored research training leading to careers as independent, extramurally funded infectious disease investigators.

The program accepts four fellows per year in three tracks: Clinician Track, Basic Investigator Track, and Clinical Investigator Track.
