- Description
- An infectious disease physician is a medical specialist concerned with the diagnosis, treatment, and research of infectious diseases, which are typically caused by bacteria, fungi viruses, and other organisms. Common infectious diseases include TB, influenza, and sexually transmitted infections. Some infectious diseases are related to specific geographies, such as tropical diseases. Your main duties and responsibilities as an infectious disease physician depend on whether you primarily focus on research or treatment.
- Requirements
- This specialty requires a four year degree and as well as four years of medical school and three years of training as an internist. You will need to be licensed to practice as a physician in the state in which you are working, and also stay current with continuing education requirements. Further, the position of clinical infectious disease specialist requires that you also receive at least three years of training specifically in infectious diseases and pass the AMA certification for becoming a specialist.
As many drug resistant infections are becoming more prevalent, the demand for clinical infectious disease specialists is steadily growing. The projected increase in jobs in this area is estimated at about 12% over the next ten years. For such a specific area of public health, that is considered an above average increase, and with the educational requirements, there is concern that not enough applicants will be available in the coming years.
