The Struggling Infectious Diseases Fellow: Remediation Challenges and Opportunities

The Struggling Infectious Diseases Fellow: Remediation Challenges and Opportunities, an article published Feb. 18 in OFID, is a collaborative effort between IDSA’s ID Training Program Directors’ Committee and many other program directors, based on small-group discussions during the 2018 National ID Program Directors’ Meeting at IDWeek.  These discussions addressed seven core topics, including feedback and evaluations, performance management and remediation, knowledge deficits, fellow well-being, efficiency and time management, teaching skills, and career development.  The manuscript synthesizes those discussions around a competency-based framework to provide program directors and other educators with a roadmap for addressing common contemporary remediation challenges.
