Infectious diseases professionals are clinicians, scientists and public health experts who research, diagnose and treat diseases that are caused by exposure to bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. We are known for our medical detective work, which helps us address current threats and prepare for the future.
Infectious Diseases Experts: America’s Link Back to Everyday Life, a joint collaborative effort between IDSA and the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, chronicles infectious diseases professionals’ experiences mobilizing quickly and working doggedly to mitigate the virus’s spread, save lives, provide essential public information and strengthen the public health infrastructure.
