  • Infectious Diseases Interest Group

    The Infectious Diseases Interest Group is designed to help medical students become more familiar with the field of Infectious Diseases and to learn about its cross-disciplinary nature.

    Throughout the year we will have lunch meetings with guest speakers in various areas of the specialty - including, but not limited to the aspects ofa patient centered practice, research interests, and hot topics in the media.As another option, students will also have the chance to be involved in a student run journal club to discuss interesting cases and topics in the field of Infectious Diseases.

    Once the group is well established, we are hoping to include participants from the other professional and graduate colleges across campus. This will allow for medical students to be exposed to other career options and encourage interdisciplinary networking.

    We will be available during orientation week at the student organization fair for any questions that you may have. We look foward to seeing everyone at the meetings!!
