The Infectious Disease Fellowship program is fully accredited and two years in duration. The primary emphasis is on training infectious disease experts in clinical infectious diseases. As part of the fellowship, trainees will study a wide variety of infectious diseases at the primary teaching institutions, including the Dayton Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC), a 338-bed referral facility, and Miami Valley (MVH) and Good Samaritan (GSH) Hospitals, large community teaching hospitals affiliated with Wright State University. In addition, fellows rotate at the Children's Medical Center of Dayton (CMC) to gain experience in pediatric infectious diseases.

Qualified fellowship candidates must have U.S. citizenship or permanent residency. All applications must be submitted through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). Interviews are scheduled by invitation in September or October. Fellowship positions are filled through the match (NRMP).
