Thank you for your interest in the infectious diseases fellowship training program at The University of Toledo.

We offer 2 positions each year in our two-year Infectious Diseases Fellowship, which primarily emphasizes clinical training. During the two-year fellowship, The University of Toledo provides a comprehensive educational program, that includes:

  • Inpatient consultation services - surgical/medical floor and intensive care setting.
  • Outpatient clinical experiences including longitudinal HIV clinic and general ID clinic at 2 locations.
  • Participation in teaching activities for residents and students as well as infection control and antimicrobial stewardship initiatives.
  • Elective months both at our facilities, as well as at an outside hospital specializing in an interest of the fellow.

We encourage and support scholarship activities and allow fellows to publish articles and participate in local/regional and national meetings.  Applications are accepted through ERAS.
