Guide To Fellowship Training in Adult and Pediatric Infectious Diseases

Background

Pakistan is a resource limited nation that faces infectious diseases as its primary healthcare challenge. Significant disease burden and emergence of drug resistance organisms needs ID expertise not only to deal with emerging infections and threats in a variety of hosts, but also for rational use of antibiotics and effective infection control measures.

At present in Pakistan, there are only 12 formally trained infectious diseases specialists. To meet this acute shortage of ID physicians, Infectious Diseases Society of Pakistan (IDSP) took up the agenda for starting a formal training program in infectious diseases to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Pakistan (CPSP) – which is the de facto post-graduate training body for physicians in Pakistan. With mutual understanding, CPSP approved Infectious Disease fellowship in 2010.
