Infectious Diseases Fellowship

Message from the Program Director

Ryan Dare, M.D.
Ryan Dare, M.D.
Fellowship Program Director

Thank you for your interest in our Infectious Diseases Fellowship program, which is fully accredited by the ACGME. We pride ourselves on developing ID physicians who graduate with excellent clinical acumen.  The fellows see patients at the UAMS Medical Center and at the John L. McClellan Memorial Veterans Hospital, which both provide a wide breadth of ID pathology. In addition, each fellow has a panel of HIV patients that are followed in the outpatient clinic, scheduled one-half day each week.

Each year we accept two fellows into our program. Each fellow will complete two years of clinical training, which includes 12 months on general ID consult service. There are many other opportunities for learning to complete your education, including rotations in inpatient HIV/ID service, orthopedic ID consult service, transplant ID consult service, microbiology, antimicrobial stewardship, infection prevention, public health at the Arkansas Department of Health and time dedicated to research.

We take pride in the history of our ID division, starting with the founding ID division directors, Dr. Robert Abernathy and Dr. Robert Bradsher, who were leading researchers in the early years of blastomycosis, to our current division director, Dr. Michael Saccente. We have a good group of ID physicians who enjoy the camaraderie at work and social events. We look forward to meeting you and telling you more about our program!
