Member-in-Training
Individuals are eligible to join IDSA as members-in-training as soon as they enter a postdoctoral program in infectious diseases, clinical microbiology, or a related field. Members-in-training do not have voting privileges. However, like all IDSA members, members-in-training may attend the Annual Meeting as well as other IDSA conferences and activities at member-in-training rates, and subscriptions to the Society’s journals are included in their dues.
