- Clinical Training
Clinical Training Settings
Inpatient Care: The core of the training program is the inpatient service at Seattle Children's Hospital, a quaternary care center with a referral base including five states. Find more data on our patient demographics here. The spectrum of disease is broad, ranging from infections in healthy children to those in bone marrow or solid organ transplantation recipients.
Outpatient Care: Fellows participate in the outpatient management of patients in the General Infectious Diseases, HIV/Virology and Immunology Clinics. Fellows evaluate new consults and provide continuity of care for patients discharged from the inpatient services.
Clinical Laboratory Training: Fellows participate in formal laboratory training sessions in the microbiology and virology labs during their first year. This intensive training experience is complemented by regular interaction with the microbiology labs during the inpatient rotations at Seattle Children's Hospital.
An example clinical schedule during fellowship can be found here.
Clinical Training Elements
The majority of clinical training for fellows occurs in the first year of fellowship, but some clinical training can occur during all three training years. This training includes:
Inpatient Consultative Service:
32-40 weeks on inpatient consult service at Seattle Children's Hospital 4 weeks of training may be spent at University-affiliated hospitals including Harborview Medical Center (where the regional trauma and burn units are located) and University of Washington/Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center (FHCRC) Bone Marrow Unit Additional elective rotations are arranged on an individual basis Weekly clinical schedule.
Clinical laboratory training:
- 2 weeks of rotations in diagnostic bacteriology, mycology and virology laboratories
Outpatient Clinics:
- 4 months of outpatient virology / infectious diseases & immunology clinics
- Didactic Curriculum
Our Pediatric Infectious Diseases fellowship offers a comprehensive curriculum integrating clinical case discussions with weekly didactic sessions aligned with the American Board of Pediatrics' Pediatric Infectious Diseases content specifications. Alongside approximately quarterly sessions in professional development, grant writing, and Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion initiatives, our program includes weekly clinical cases, city-wide infectious diseases clinical case conferences, and board review topics. Additional monthly activities include journal club and integrated quality improvement/antimicrobial stewardship conferences. Primarily led by faculty and invited experts, fellows also contribute by developing and presenting their own lectures and research conferences, enhancing their teaching portfolio.
- Research Training
An individualized program is developed to provide each fellow a strong research foundation to build an investigative career.
Research Training Elements
Mentor Selection: Selection of a research project prior to acceptance to the fellowship program is not required. During the interview process, applicants are exposed to the breadth of faculty expertise available in our program and potential research projects. Upon acceptance into our program, fellows work with the research director to develop their research focus further, identify specific mentors of faculty at the University of Washington, Seattle Children’s Hospital, Seattle Children’s Research Institute, or the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. The fellowship director and research director discuss training expectations with both the mentor and fellow to optimize the research project selected by the fellow. The research mentor will foster the ultimate development of an independent research program for the fellow.
Project Scope: Fellows may work with any University of Washington faculty member including our core pediatric infectious disease faculty listed below. Fellows may select projects related to basic research, patient-oriented research or population-based research. Our fellowship is supported by a training-grant from the NIH that supports training of fellows in basic and/or translational research. The research project work should be able to be completed within two years and result in a publication in a peer-reviewed journal by the completion of fellowship. The project should also provide a foundation for a career development grant and future research programs. When needed, our program works closely with fellows to secure funding for a third year of focused research time immediately following fellowship completion.
Coursework: Research is supplemented by coursework at the University of Washington as necessary. Fellows may pursue an MPH if the coursework is appropriate for their career goals. Degree completion takes approximately two years.

Our Values
We believe that the diversity of our fellows, residents, medical students, staff, and faculty is of fundamental importance in our ability to ensure that all our patients and families receive the highest-quality care – no matter their race, ethnicity, language, literacy, age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or finances. Our objective is to create a community that encourages participation and connection, one that seeks out and celebrates the unique contributions of each individual, in every aspect of our practice and mission.
Our Community
The Division of Infectious Diseases includes a diverse community with a wide range of backgrounds and identities. Social and professional activities center around the fellows and their training, but also extend to broader affinities beyond the walls of the hospital and research institute. The Division organizes a coffee break every 1-2 weeks for on-service teams and others working in the hospital. Fellows and young faculty gather approximately once a quarter for a happy hour and informal mentoring. As a division we typically come together monthly for holidays, graduation, retirement parties and other celebrations. Additional social and mentorship opportunities are available through the UW Network of Underrepresented Residents and Fellows, Seattle Children’s Fellows’ College and the UW School of Medicine GME Office.
The larger geographic area of Seattle and King County contains a diverse array of cultural, religious, and affinity-based communities. As pediatric infectious diseases specialists, we both serve and participate in these communities actively.
Anti-Racism and Health Equity Work
We recognize that structural manifestations of racism and other forms of prejudice exist in the institutions and society around us; as a division and a fellowship training program we are actively working to dismantle systemic injustice and to increase equity. Some of our ongoing projects are listed below.
- The Infectious Diseases Division incorporates an equity assessment into the development of our clinical care guidelines, quality improvement work and morbidity and mortality conferences. We have adapted a model based on the Equity Impact Tool implemented by King County and others to assess the consequences of our policies and any proposed changes on marginalized groups.
- Through research, advocacy, and action, members of the Division are actively engaged in work to improve health equity both in the United States and globally. Some of these projects are listed below.
- Caitlin McGrath studies the social determinants of health in healthcare-associated infections, investigating racial and language inequities in the incidence of central line-associated bloodstream infections and surgical site infections and strategies for improvement. She was awarded the prestigious Leadership in Epidemiology, Antimicrobial Stewardship, and Public Health (LEAP) fellowship in 2022-2023 to continue this work.
- Jon Mosser studies neglected tropical diseases and vaccine-preventable illness at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, focusing on the use of computer modeling to maximize the effectiveness of targeted public health interventions in low-resource settings.
- Ben Gern is a mentor in the TB Scholars Program, which provides research experiences and mentorship for undergraduates from underrepresented backgrounds in science who are interested in Tuberculosis research. He is also the recipient of a mentored scholars grant from the SCH Center for Diversity and Health Equity.
- Indi Trehan works with global partners including WHO, UNICEF, MSF, and Action Against Hunger to study and improve the care of malnourished children worldwide. He has extensive experience and interest in training health care providers in austere settings in evidence-based, cost-effective clinical care and public health that maximizes child survival and human potential.
- Taylor Hendrixson is board-certified in both neonatology and pediatric infectious disease. His work focuses on improving maternal-neonatal health and nutrition in resource-poor settings.
- Recognizing the disparity in the racial and economic background between physicians and the patients they serve, the Division participates in several interventions aimed at improving the pathways for individuals from diverse backgrounds to obtain training in medicine. These include the Washington State Opportunity Scholarship, the SCRI Summer Scholars Research Program, and Funded Visited Electives for Underrepresented Students in Medicine. We are actively recruiting at all training levels to improve the diversity of our specialty.
