You will need to be licensed to practice as a physician in the state in which you are working, and also stay current with continuing education requirements. Further, the position of clinical infectious disease specialist requires that you also receive at least three years of training specifically in infectious diseases and pass the AMA certification for becoming a specialist.
As many drug resistant infections are becoming more prevalent, the demand for clinical infectious disease specialists is steadily growing. The projected increase in jobs in this area is estimated at about 12% over the next ten years. For such a specific area of public health, that is considered an above average increase, and with the educational requirements, there is concern that not enough applicants will be available in the coming years.
