Dear Pediatric Infectious Diseases Fellowship Applicant,
Thank you for your interest in pediatric infectious diseases, an incredibly diverse and rewarding specialty. As evidenced by the recent COVID-19 pandemic, pediatric infectious diseases physicians have never been more important nor have their duties more diverse. The pandemic highlighted the wide array of career paths available to a pediatric infectious diseases specialist; everything from clinical care, disaster planning, infection prevention and control, antimicrobial and diagnostic stewardship, immunology, microbial pathogenesis, vaccine development, epidemiology and public health, public relations, and social determinants of health. We look forward to you joining this exciting profession and we are committed to helping you find your particular niche within it.
We look forward to meeting you and getting to know your interests within our rewarding and ever-changing subspecialty!
Cheers,
Chris Cannavino, M.D.
