Over the two-year Infectious Diseases training program, fellows rotate between inpatient service and outpatient electives every two-weeks.
Inpatient services are conducted at the Ochsner Medical Center Main Campus with University of Queensland Medical Students, Internal Medicine Residents, Infectious Diseases pharmacists, and a PGY-2 Infectious Diseases Pharmacy Resident.
Fellows rotate through three inpatient teaching services:
During the two-week outpatient block, fellows have two half-days of continuity clinic where they gain experience in the longitudinal management of a host of infectious diseases including HIV/AIDS and infections requiring outpatient antibiotic therapy.

Fellows are encouraged to complete a research project on the topic of their choice. A stipend will be provided for fellows who present their research at national or international Infectious Diseases conferences.
Additional outpatient rotations to choose from based on fellow interest include:
