Top-tier conferences, premier journals, first-author publications, invited presentations, travel grants, and awards. Our fellows have done it all. And we support them every step of the way.
We are very proud to support the scholarly work of our fellows, including attendance at local, state, national, and international conferences. In the past five years, our fellows have presented at IDWeek, ASTMH, ESCMID Global, Texas ID Society Meeting, ACP National Meeting, and more.
UTMB's Office of Graduate Medical Education provides trainees with $1000 in professional development funds, annually. These funds can be used for costs associated with conference registration fees and travel. In many situations, additional resources can be used to provide financial support beyond this amount, subject to available departmental, divisional, or programmatic funds. We also assist fellows with identifying and securing extramural funding opportunities to support conference attendance and travel costs.
In the past five years, our fellows have published >30 original manuscripts, textbook chapters, or review articles. Many of these have been included in high-impact journals including Clinical Infectious Diseases, Open Forum Infectious Diseases, Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, Journal of Clinical Microbiology, Emerging Infectious Diseases, and the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.
