Global Pediatric Infectious Diseases (GpID), International Fellowship Training Program
Infectious diseases are a global phenomenon. To battle not just the new emerging infections from Ebola to SARS to pandemic influenza, but well established microbes such as HIV, TB, malaria or drug resistant Staphylococcus requires a new way of thinking, a new approach – one that crosses borders on purpose. The borders that need crossing are located between countries, continents, cultures, and between medical disciplines such as pediatric infectious diseases, immunology, microbiology, infection control and global health, as well as between clinical medicine and research. Our Global Pediatric Infectious Disease (GpID) fellowship-training program provides this border-crossing training to highly qualified fellows from around the world.
