Objective
To provide excellent clinical training and scholarship in both adult and pediatric infectious diseases.
Applicant Selection
Interested and qualified applicants are accepted to the Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) Combined Medicine-Pediatrics Infectious Diseases Fellowship on a case-by-case basis. As this track is not a formal combined infectious disease fellowship program through the NRMP, interested candidates should apply to both the BCM adult and pediatric ID fellowship programs through ERAS. Candidates should indicate in their personal statement if they wish to pursue combined training. The BCM adult and pediatric program directors will work together to review fellowship applicants. After a candidate matches with our program, a petition is submitted for combined training to the ABIM and ABP.
Previous combined medicine-pediatric fellow graduates include Jill Weatherhead M.D., Msc, DTMH (2017) and Janine Dailey Garnes M.D., M.P.H., M.S. (2016).
