The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), the nation’s leading infectious diseases professional society, has honored 86 distinguished physicians and scientists from the United States and around the world who were elected this year to be fellows of IDSA.
Fellowship in IDSA honors those who have achieved professional excellence and provided significant service to the profession. “Fellowships are our way of recognizing the top physicians, researchers, and scientists in the field,” said IDSA President Thomas G. Slama, MD, FIDSA. “These individuals are recognized as leaders and experts in infectious diseases in their hospitals, clinics, research labs, institutions, and communities.”
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.
