The IDSA Leadership Institute empowers infectious diseases and HIV practitioners to be future leaders. Crafted specifically by and for specialists in infectious diseases and HIV, the Leadership Institute offers two tailored leadership development pathways: Community of Leaders and Rising Leaders. The former is a hybrid program designed for mid- to senior-career professionals, culminating in an in-person intensive in Arlington, VA, while the latter is an online initiative aimed at those in the early stages of their careers. Both programs provide comprehensive training and resources, emphasizing personal growth, effective leadership strategies and community building.

Our Community of Leaders program is more than just a leadership development program. It’s a transformative journey designed specifically for mid- and senior-career infectious diseases specialists. Starting in February each year, leaders gain access to the IDSA Academy learning management system; there, they engage with a series of insightful webinars, thought-provoking readings and interactive discussion boards. The journey culminates in an immersive, multiday, in-person capstone intensive each May in Arlington, VA.
