Transplant and Oncology Infectious Diseases (TOID) Fellowship

Overview

With nearly 35,000* organs transplanted each year in the United States, there is a need for specialty training of infectious diseases physicians focused on the needs of transplant patients.

Founded in 2008, the TOID Fellowship seeks to expand institutional expertise and train the next generation of providers in clinical and academic activities focused on infectious complications in transplant (solid organ and stem cell) and oncology patients. Since its development, Johns Hopkins has been recognized as a primary training site for TOID, and has hosted numerous visiting clinicians, clinical fellows, medical students, and undergraduates for electives in the subspecialty, from both US and international hospitals.

The American Society of Transplantation recognizes the Transplant and Oncology Infectious Diseases (TOID) fellowship at Johns Hopkins University as an ACGME-equivalent program.  Applicants should be current or past fellows in good standing in an ACGME-accredited Infectious Diseases fellowship program.For more information, contact Darin Ostrander at (410) 614-6702, [email protected].
