- An Infectious Disease Specialist diagnoses, treats, and prevents infections caused by microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. They work with patients who have a variety of infectious conditions, including those resistant to treatment, travel-related illnesses, HIV/AIDS, and other complex infections. They also play a role in public health initiatives, such as outbreak investigations and infection control.
- Requirements
- This specialty requires a four year degree and as well as four years of medical school and three years of training as an internist. 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.
