Our Infectious Disease Fellows
Diversity, Equity, Belonging and Inclusion
Fellows are able to learn amongst a diverse population of patients and fellow house staff physicians. All continents (except Australia and Antarctica) have been represented by fellows we’ve trained in the past 20 years. Both Sunni and Shia (and Alawite and Ismaili) communities as well as Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, and Christian traditions have been represented in the roll of Creighton-trained fellows.
