Located in central Manhattan, NYU School of Medicine has a close affiliation with Bellevue Hospital, one of the oldest and largest public hospitals in the United States, and with the Veterans Affairs Hospital, all adjacent to NYU on a walking campus. This special collaboration between hospitals, along with the diversity of the New York City patient population from around the world, provides outstanding clinical training and offers exposure to all major and many rare infectious diseases.

The division's educational activities are concentrated in the Infectious Diseases Fellowship Training Program. The program's goals are:

• to provide high-quality clinical training
• 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.
