We are very pleased to announce several new faculty members who are joining the ID Division. The Division continues to expand its expertise and reach through in-person and Tele-ID services. As a result, the types of faculty appointments have also expanded to include casual, part-time and full-time appointments with varying effort on in-person and Tele-ID services. As you can see below, this flexibility has proven to be very attractive to faculty applicants across the spectrum of experience, ranging from new fellowship graduates to very experienced clinicians. Please take a moment to reach out to our new faculty. They very much want to feel connected to our Division as we do to them!
