Advanced Fellowship in Transplant Infectious Diseases (TID)
New York Presbyterian Hospital, in conjunction with Columbia University Medical Center and Weill-Cornell Medicine, are pleased to offer a one-year Advanced Fellowship in Transplant Infectious Diseases (TID) for graduating infectious disease fellows seeking to launch academic careers in TID. Our joint program provides exceptional clinical training and research mentorship from faculty at two prominent transplant centers in New York City. NewYork Presbyterian Hospital is one the largest solid organ and stem cell transplant programs in North America and is internationally recognized for its leadership in clinical care, education, and research.
Training
Fellows will rotate on inpatient solid organ transplant (lung, heart, kidney, pancreas, liver) and hematologic malignancy (bone marrow transplant, leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma) services at the two primary campuses of NewYork Presbyterian Hospital: Columbia University Medical Center and Weill Cornell Medicine. To ensure a well-rounded ambulatory care experience, Fellows will have a weekly outpatient TID clinic throughout their training. TID fellows will have dedicated time and support for mentored research on both campuses. Participation in transplant conferences at the local, national, and international levels is strongly encouraged.
Research
Fellows are provided dedicated time and mentoring to pursue clinical or translational research across both campuses. Collaborative research projects are supported by experienced faculty with active involvement in transplant infectious diseases research.
