This Division provides primarily outpatient and inpatient consultative services. They conduct busy outpatient clinics at the Omaha VAMC and the Creighton Medicine Clinic in addition to independent HIV clinics and a weekly Travelers Clinic for the City of Omaha. Faculty members are very active in research, most notably in the pathogenesis of pneumococcal and gonococcal infections as well as rat models of infection in cirrhotic hosts. The Division also has a two year infectious disease fellowship in conjunction with the University of Nebraska and Omaha VAMC. Resident Involvement: All residents rotate through this Division during their second or third year. The faculty is well known among the residents for their strong didactic sessions. At Saint Joseph Hospital the residents are responsible for the inpatient consultative service. At the Omaha VAMC residents provide inpatient consultative services and are active in the outpatient clinics too. All residents participate in the Travelers Clinic. At both institutions residents spend time in the microbiology lab daily reviewing interesting cases. |
