Outpatient Rotations - Infectious Diseases Fellowship
All fellows maintain an outpatient HIV continuity clinic during their fellowship. In the first year, fellows have continuity clinic at the Baltimore VA or the THRIVE Program at the UMMC-Midtown campus. One to two-week ambulatory clinic blocks are also scattered throughout the fellows' schedules, and include time at both HIV clinics, the general ID clinic, the hepatitis C clinic, cancer-ID clinic, transplant-ID clinic, and travel clinic.
