Infectious Disease Division

The Infectious Diseases (ID) Division, Department of Medicine, spans the globe with approximately 165 faculty appointments. Many faculty are assigned to military medical treatment facilities, providing patient care and clinical education including those at the three military infectious diseases training programs (National Capital Consortium, Bethesda MD; Naval Medical Center, San Diego CA; San Antonio Uniformed Services Health Education Consortium, San Antonio TX). Additionally, some ID faculty are assigned to the United States and overseas military research laboratories. Among USU-billeted Medicine ID faculty there are a range of research interests, including viruses (e.g. HIV, SARs-COV2), antimicrobial resistance, vaccines, and parasites as well as technical approaches of structural biology, immunology, and clinical trials.

Besides research, our ID faculty contribute to clinical education supporting USU medical student training, graduate programs, as well as training of post graduate physicians during residency and ID fellowship. All billeted ID physicians provide clinical care in military healthcare system, both outpatient and inpatient services in the National Capital Region.
