Immunocompromised Host Community of Practice
The IDSA Immunocompromised Host Community of Practice focuses on advancing the care of immunocompromised hosts by promoting high-quality education, collaboration and innovation in infectious diseases. The IHCoP is a collaborative community that aims to develop resources, foster professional connections, and support the recruitment and retention of the next generation of ID specialists trained in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases in these vulnerable populations. This includes a focus on transplant infectious diseases and emerging immunosuppressed populations, ensuring that ID professionals have the tools and knowledge necessary to provide exceptional care for these patients.
In alignment with IDSA's strategic priorities, the IHCoP fosters professional community activities, supports mentorship and career development, and strengthens a sustainable and diverse workforce focused on immunocompromised and transplant populations.

The Compensation Survey for Transplant Infectious Diseases Physicians, led by IDSA's IHCoP, aims to better understand current compensation models, clinical effort and the nonclinical contributions of transplant infectious diseases physicians across diverse practice settings. The survey seeks to generate benchmark data that can then be utilized to advocate for resources and promote fair compensation structures, with the goal of sustaining and strengthening the transplant infectious diseases workforce.
