Virulence profile

Where did you perform your internship/residency and what field of specialization did you choose? I completed my internship and residency in Internal Medicine at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. This was one of the formative experiences of my medical career, and was where I truly learned to become a physician. I was fortunate to have been trained by wonderfully gifted and talented faculty, clinicians, and educators. After completing internal medicine residency, I chose to pursue subspecialty training in infectious diseases, largely because of the clinical mentorship of the infectious diseases specialists at the University of Pennsylvania. They were such master clinicians and role models, I could not help but wish to aspire to that level of clinical acumen. In addition, the field of infectious diseases is endlessly fascinating, from both a clinical and scientific standpoint.
