Individualized Support
We know mentorship is imperative in guiding the next generation of academically-oriented infectious disease specialists, and we have an individualized mentorship program that promotes fellows’ career planning and development as clinicians, educators and researchers.
Our graduates tout their mentorship as one of the most valuable experiences in our program.
Mentorship Structure
During your first 3-6 months of fellowship, we help you assemble a committee of faculty mentors who can advise you on all aspects of your professional development—from becoming an outstanding clinician, participating in impactful quality improvement, and advancing your scholarship. Our faculty are highly accomplished and have a sincere dedication to mentoring our fellows.
We facilitate meetings with your mentor committee every six months and encourage mentors from outside our division, including collaborators across the Department of Medicine and School of Medicine and Public Health, the UW School of Pharmacy, the Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology, and the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.
