2019 continued the theme of growth for our Division of Infectious Diseases. We have added several new faculty to our group (and still actively hiring), continued to redesign the College of Medicine Infectious Diseases curriculum, established a new Community Infectious Diseases service line, expanded our social media presence, joined and led multiple national Infectious Diseases committees, and again hosted the successful regional HIV and Antimicrobial Stewardship conferences. We had a huge presence at #IDWeek2019, with 10 of our faculty either presenting or moderating on the national stage, and many more presenting posters. We are extremely proud of our trainees – the Division supported eight students, residents, and fellows to attend, three of whom gave oral presentations! Finally, we expanded our ID fellowship program and matched three fantastic physicians to join us next summer (with a goal of a final complement of six ID fellows by 2021).
Amidst all of that, our Division was once again among the top publication performers in the Department of Medicine, with our faculty publishing over 70 peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters crossing several areas of expertise, including HIV, Biopreparedness, Infections in Solid-organ and Stem-cell transplant patients, Antimicrobial Stewardship, Hospital Epidemiology & Infection Control, Diversity & Equity, Social Media, and Infections in critically-ill patients. Curious about the depth and breadth of expertise at UNMC ID? Below is a full list of the publications for your perusal, with convenient links to the referenced articles. It’s long, so consider bookmarking and keep referring to it whenever you need a bit of expertise.
We want to thank Librarian Teresa Hartman (@thartman2u) at the UNMC McGoogan Library for helping us compile this list of publications.
Stay tuned to our blog and follow us on Twitter @UNMC_ID to see all that we have in store for 2020!
