The Division of Infectious Disease offers a fellowship training program that provides an excellent opportunity for a broad-based, comprehensive clinical and research experience. The program lasts for three years and is designed to prepare the fellow for an academic career. It is our philosophy that investigative and clinical skills acquired during training should distinguish the fellow as highly competitive for research funding and outstanding in clinical competence. We strive for collegiality in a friendly, intellectually curious atmosphere. Only those applicants who have the potential to fulfill all these goals are accepted into the program.

Fellows are expected to spend approximately one year of the three year training program in clinical training. All clinical activities are directly supervised by one-on-one interaction with the attending physician. Fellows will have a concentrated two to three year research experience. Projects may include bench, clinical or translational research endeavors and may be conducted within the division or in collaboration with other clinical or basic science departments at Vanderbilt.
