Year 1
The first year of fellowship consists of 12 one-month rotations. The first four months are a dedicated microbiology laboratory rotation, in order to accommodate preparation for Internal Medicine board examination. There are eight months of inpatient clinical rotation divided between Baylor Scott & White Health and Central Texas Veterans Health Care. The remaining three months are split between research and outpatient rotations.
Fellows have one half-day per week dedicated to their continuity clinic. This is the case for the entire two-year training period, except for away rotations.
Year 2
The second year of training consists of 12, one-month rotations. Four months are dedicated to inpatient care again divided between Baylor Scott & White and Central Texas Veterans Healthcare. There is a one-month rotation at MD Anderson for bone marrow transplant experience. The seven remaining months are determined by the fellows' interests.
Clinical outpatient rotations include:
- Hepatitis C
- General outpatient infectious disease
- Outpatient antibiotic therapy clinic
- Travel medicine
- County STD clinic
- Infection control
Fellows continue their one half-day per week continuity clinic during the second year.
