MED - 746 Infectious Disease

Students are exposed to a wide variety of acute and chronic infectious disease problems with emphasis on diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Teaching is conducted in a case-study format in which students see new patients and present them to the attending on consultation rounds. Rush and Stroger Hospitals have a joint fellowship Training Program in Infectious Disease. Rush students will spend two weeks at Rush and two weeks at John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County on the respective Infectious Disease Consultative Services; visiting students will spend all four weeks at Rush. In addition, students will attend a weekly two-hour infectious disease conference at Rush and a one-hour infectious disease conference at Stroger where they may present cases. Elective
