Infectious Diseases Society Honors 90 Distinguished Physicians, Scientists
The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), the nation’s leading infectious diseases professional society, has honored 90 distinguished physicians and scientists from the United States and abroad who were elected this year to be fellows of IDSA.
Fellowship in IDSA honors individuals who have achieved professional excellence and provided significant service to the profession. “These fellows are recognized by their colleagues as leaders in infectious diseases in their communities, in their hospitals, and in their research labs,” said IDSA President James M. Hughes, MD, FIDSA. “Fellowships are IDSA’s way of recognizing the top physicians, scientists, and researchers in our field.”
Applicants for IDSA fellowship must be nominated by their peers and must meet specified criteria, including continuing identification with the field of infectious diseases, national or local recognition, and publication of their work. Nominees are reviewed and elected by the IDSA Board of Directors. Fellows of IDSA work in clinical practice, teaching, research, public health, or administration.
