Series Overview

Fellows present a clinic case to faculty in a conference presentation where an unknown case of a patient with infectious disease is presented to the attendees who then discuss differential diagnosis, diagnostic evaluation, and initial treatment recommendations. Following this discussion, the findings and outcome are presented by the fellow, after which they presents an in-depth review of the literature pertaining to the case.  Faculty, fellows, and other learners discuss the case along with essential learning points in the unique case.
