  • For the duration of their training, fellows will spend ½ day weekly in the outpatient setting. Our ID clinics are a blended mix of hospital follow-ups, HIV/AIDS (including PrEP), viral hepatitis, STIs, chronic infections, travel medicine, pre-transplant evaluations, and primary care referrals. To enhance the ambulatory training environment, faculty attendings receive dedicated time to precept the fellows in clinic to focus on clinical education and supervision.

  • Once per month, fellows will spend ½ day participating in the TDCJ ID Clinic offering additional training in tuberculosis, invasive bacterial and fungal infections, complicated orthopedic cases, and telemedicine.

     

  • Fellows desiring additional outpatient-oriented training may opt for extra clinic time as a second-year or elective months in the first year.
