Infectious Diseases Fellowship Program

Montefiore Einstein Infectious Diseases Fellows receive a broad and comprehensive two-year clinical and research training experience, with an optional third-year intensive research opportunity for those interested in pursuing a career dedicated to clinical, translational or laboratory research. Fellows see cases across all areas of infectious disease, including HIV, hepatitis C, transplant infections, multidrug-resistant infections, tropical medicine and more.

Why our program could be right for you

The Infectious Diseases Fellowship Program prepares fellows for successful careers as scientific investigators, attending physicians and private practitioners. During first-year clinical training, each fellow performs more than 600 inpatient consultations, gaining clinical experience across the spectrum of infectious diseases, from community-acquired and nosocomial infections to HIV/AIDS, as well as with complications of transplantations and malignancies, infections from multidrug-resistant organisms, pediatric infectious diseases, travel medicine and global health.

During the research and professional-development years, fellows participate in at least one intensive clinical, translational or basic science research project. Here, our dedicated faculty mentors perform cutting-edge research and bring fellows on board for outstanding training opportunities. Fellows also have the opportunity to undertake additional projects in quality improvement, medical education and other areas of interest.

We encourage fellows who are pursuing a career in intensive research to stay for at least three years of fellowship, so they can take on an intensive investigative project with an experienced research mentor and/or NIH-funded investigator. During these later years of fellowship, fellows train with a supportive faculty to strengthen their skills in research methods, study design, IRB navigation and critical appraisal of literature.

Moses Campus

At our main campus, fellows are immersed in every possible area of infectious disease study. The teaching faculty at the Moses Campus have diverse clinical and research expertise in HIV primary care, opportunistic infections, viral hepatitis, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), mycobacterial infections, solid-organ transplant, hematologic malignancies, bone marrow transplant and multidrug resistance. Moses is also home to the Center for Positive Living, one of the largest HIV primary care sites in New York, as well as Montefiore Oval Center, a sexual-health clinic specializing in prevention, screening and care for the LGBTQ community.
