Description of fellowship:
The Infectious Disease Fellowship at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles is designed to train the participating physician to become a competent academician in pediatric infectious diseases. It is a well-balanced and thorough program in both the clinical and laboratory disciplines. Over its 3-year duration the training program provides adequate time in training laboratory investigation, clinical infectious disease training, and clinical research training. In addition, participating physicians will have ample opportunity to refine their teaching skills. Upon completion of training it is expected that the graduate would be well prepared to offer effective care to pediatric patients with infectious diseases and to be capable to embark on an independent career as an investigator in pediatric infectious diseases.
