Fellows also have time to study for the ABIM examination and get settled into fellowship. General ID consults (Galveston): Staffed by an attending physician, two fellows, ID specialty-trained pharmacist, physician’s assistant, multiple medical students, and typically one or more IM residents. Fellows will see a wide variety of pathology on this rotation, ranging from “bread-and-butter” cases of diabetic foot infections and complicated UTIs to infections caused by Vibrio vulnificus, pan-resistant Pseudomonas, Cryptococcus neoformans in AIDS, Candida auris, and so much more. At any given time, about 1/3 of the patients are ICU-level. During the general consults rotation, fellows also assist the UTMB Antimicrobial Stewardship Program with restricted antibiotic approvals for agents such as ceftazidime-avibactam and daptomycin. Immunocompromised Host ID consults (Galveston): Working one-on-one with the attending physician, fellows gain experience in the management of infections related to solid organ transplantation, chemotherapy, biologics, congenital immunodeficiencies, acquired neutropenia, and LVADs. The Texas Transplant Center at UTMB is active in kidney, kidney/pancreas, and heart transplantation. Fellows will become highly proficient in the treatment of infections caused by CMV and other herpesviridae, invasive yeasts/molds, and multi-drug resistant nosocomial pathogens, amongst others. Fellows desiring additional training in bone marrow transplant ID can opt to rotate at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston during the second year. League City Campus (LCC) ID consults: Our LCC rotation offers fellows a setting more closely related to a typical community hospital seeing primarily common infectious diseases. At LCC, fellows will work with one attending physician, a physician’s assistant, and ID specialty-trained pharmacist. Students and residents rotate on this service occasionally. For fellows interested in a private practice career, additional time at LCC can be arranged during elective months in the second year.
