Infectious Diseases
MISSION AND OVERVIEW: PATIENT CARE, RESEARCH AND EDUCATION
The Infectious Disease (ID) Division is dedicated to the highest standards of patient care in an academic environment of education and discovery through basic and translational research and clinical investigation. The ID faculty have a broad spectrum of clinical and research expertise that provides innovative approaches to patient care in collaboration with other faculty at Loyola and physicians beyond Loyola seeking consults. Strong affiliations exist with the Department of Microbiology-Immunology through the Infectious Diseases-Immunology Institute and with the Department of Public Health Sciences to expand ID research and education to broader public health and international programs. These missions are fulfilled through programmatic integration of PharmD and Nurse Practitioner staff in an environment that fosters continuing medical education and training of Infectious Diseases Fellows, the ID experts and faculty of the future.
