UConn Health Infectious Diseases Division and Fellowship

Evidence-based, patient-centered care while training the specialists of tomorrow.

Ever heard of Secnidazole, an alternative therapy for treatment resistant BV and Trichomoniasis ? The 2nd year ID fellows hadn't either, until they went to the New England ID Fellows STI course! Also, Catherine caught chlamydia. 🫣 #id #infectiousdiseases #sti

Some of the fellows shared Thanksgiv(I)ng (D)inner together. Don't worry, Turkey temperature was checked to ensure all possible Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Clostridium perfringens was adequately source controlled.🤓👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️🧫🦃
