“I completed my Infectious Disease (ID) specialty training here at UTHSC under the leadership of Dr. Jim Dale. The program is designed to expose fellows to opportunities in both clinical and research pathways. Having the opportunity to work with such experienced and brilliant faculty with expertise in various aspects of infectious diseases like Transplant ID, HIV management, General ID, etc… is what has helped mold me into a well-rounded ID physician. The vast array of clinical cases encountered here would satisfy the investigative nature of most ID physicians. For this and many other reasons, I made the decision to stay on as faculty without regret.”
