Indiana University School of Medicine is now accepting applications to the Medical Microbiology Fellowship for the year 2026-27. This ACGME-accredited program provides advanced subspecialty training in medical microbiology. Comprehensive training is provided in bacteriology, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, anaerobic bacteriology, molecular diagnostics, mycobacteriology, mycology, parasitology, serology and virology. Fellows also participate in an active infectious disease pathology service, providing rapid diagnosis of a variety of infectious agents. The trainee will be an active participant in management of the laboratories and consults with clinicians relative to use of the laboratory and interpretation of results. During the one year fellowship, the trainee is expected to pursue a research project with the opportunity for multiple projects throughout the year if the fellow wishes. Examples of research interests include antimicrobial susceptibility testing, infections in immunocompromised patients, fungal infections including pneumocystis, rapid test methods, laboratory instrumentation, and molecular diagnostics of infectious diseases. State-of-the-art diagnostic methods include: microbial identification by nucleic acid amplification, MALDI-TOF MS, and molecular detection of antimicrobial resistance. Laboratory automation has also been implemented and an expansion is ongoing. Requirements: Candidates must be qualified for certification or certified in clinical pathology or combined anatomic pathology-clinical pathology or meet fellow eligibility requirements for ACGME Medical Microbiology fellowship programs. Alternatively, applicants may hold a primary certificate plus a subspecialty certificate in Infectious Diseases from another member medical specialty board of the ABMS (e.g. Internal Medicine or Pediatrics). Candidates must hold (or be eligible for) a permanent license to practice medicine in the State of Indiana. Staff: Christopher Emery, MD Fellowship Director; T. Davis MD, PhD; JP Lavik, MD, PhD; R.
