no better way to start a Monday than with a talk on emerging & re-emerging infectious diseases c/o @KevinGibasMD , an integral part of our Infection Control 🦠💉& Epidemiology team 🌎🌍🌏 (also feat. un-pictured local coffee & pastries thanks to our amazing APD, Dr. Sanchez 😌)

rolling into the week feeling refreshed after a fellow gathering filled with great food and even better company 🥳

the best Friday morning gift = the most beautiful gram stains 😍 today in micro rounds fellows had the opportunity to see and learn about rare presentations of Neisseria meningitidis, Cryptococcus neoformans and Acinetobacter calcoaceticus bio. lwoffi 🦠🔬

ID-PGY5 Drs. Williams (L) & Panaccione (R) were grateful for the opportunity to share their ID journeys with the The Warren Alpert Medical School IM interest group today! Their talk was filled with personal stories, an intro to the spectrum of careers in ID and of course, a few micro puns 🦠

with so much to explore in Providence, RI there is always something for our fellows to experience outside of the hospital! this week our fellows took a ghost story boat tour down the Providence River featuring a spooky twist on the history of the area 👻

ID-Week 2024 is off to a great start! amongst the jam-packed schedule, filled with incredible learning opportunities, the Brown ID division attendees were able to get together in LA 🌃 we had an awesome turnout from current fellows & faculty to alumni reconnecting!

ID-PGY5, Dr. Panaccione, presented her work (started during her residency) today at ID-Week. The outpouring support from the Brown ID division, all the way in LA, was incredible. Special s/o to our Brown IM residents (ID doctors in the making 😌🦠) who also stopped by to support!

more snippets from our fellow at ID-Week: incredible case based talk on challenges of treating HIV, co-moderated by our own Dr. Garland! a great experience reminding us how lucky we are to have him teaching us every day!

wondering what there is to do for fun in Providence, RI? our fellows love trivia nights! various breweries around the city host week night trivia and this one.. happens to be dog friendly, which Dr. Gill (ID-PGY4) loved after a day on consult service 🐶

a great night out with the fellowship! feat. important discussions such as, why hasn’t the pun “deja flu” caught on? how lucky we are to have a PD (Dr. Cunha) and APD (Dr. Sanchez) who are so brilliant but also down to earth. P.S. the buttercake (!!) did not disappoint 😌

Monday mornings = focused fellow-centered teaching sessions and this week, our awesome pharmD team is teaching us about the classification and treatment of HCV 💊

with much excitement, we are pleased to announce our match results for the class of 2027 🥁 we welcome: ▫️Dr. Beth Garbitelli (joining us from Tufts) ▫️Dr. Ben Pomerantz (coming to us from the University of Illinois) the Brown ID Fellowship looks forward to having you! 🎉

thank you to the Sylvie Ratelle STD/HIV Prevention Training Center for having our 2nd years at their annual conference! our fellows enjoyed jam packed learning & punny inspiring discussions 🤓 “there’s no ‘I’ in ‘team’, but there are two in ‘syphilis’” #PreventionIs🔑

a bittersweet evening for our fellows & faculty! it has been a privilege to know and train under Dr. Tim Flanigan! as grateful as we are to have had him, especially with all that he has done for this division, he will be so missed in his (well deserved) retirement 👏🎊

there’s no stopping these two when the creative juices start flowing! 📸 micro rounds today inspiring first year, Dr. Uddin, and one of our favorite attendings, Dr. Nau, to embark on a probiotic research collaborative… they are already working on their infomercial tactics 😂

nothing says happy new year like some path review of the inside of a surgically removed intraventricular cyst confirming our clinical suspicion of neurocysticercosis 🐖🪱🧠

happy Friday from micro rounds! an immunocompromised patient with high fevers, hypoxia and organ disfunction grows these colonies on charcoal yeast agar (but not regular agar) from a BAL sample… you guessed it! Legionella pneumophila 🧫🔬 rare to get such a good gram stain 🙌

it’s another great Friday in the micro lab with teaching and this beautiful gram stain prep by the head of our microbiology lab, Dr. Hong! feat. S.gordonii and a discussion on SBE 🫀

it was such a privilege to meet with Dr. Rochelle Walensky! our fellows had an amazing time learning more about her career journey in the U.S. government as former CDC director, while staying true to her goals of addressing critical public health needs. thank you Dr. Walensky!

we 🫶 the Providence trivia scene! after many months of “practice” runs, we finally won! now to keep a streak going 😌
