Clinical Training
Clinical Training
Clinical training through our fellowship program will allow each fellow to develop an independent, thoughtful, organized, and flexible approach to the evaluation of patients with infectious diseases, while recognizing and responding to both psychosocial and economic factors that impact patient care. Fellows will also develop and enhance life-long learning skills that allow them to adapt to the changing spectrum of infectious diseases entities, and become leaders in the field.
Details regarding inpatient training sites can be found on our UMN Fellowship Website under "Clinical Training."
