Outpatient Consultative Services

The Division of Infectious Diseases sees outpatients with the full range of infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS, osteomyelitis, chronic fatigue, Lyme, and tropical diseases acquired during travel. The Division also staffs a full service travel medicine clinic that prepares clients to travel safely to exotic locations. Services include medications to prevent malaria and treat travelers’ diarrhea and all the necessary immunizations for travel. The staff takes pride in spending the time to individualize the needs of the traveler and educate them accordingly. Fellows also rotate one morning a week in an HIV continuity clinic.
