Foreword There is no doubt that Infectious Diseases is a wonderful specialty - photo 3

Foreword

There is no doubt that Infectious Diseases is a wonderful specialty for those interested in clinical practice. ID clinicians span the continuum of medicine from research to individual patient care to public health more than any other clinical specialty. The field is continually enriched by innovation in prevention, diagnosis, and therapy. ID clinicians are widely recognized in many settings as the true medical detectives, solving diagnostic dilemmas that challenge other doctors. For the individual patient, it is becoming clearer that, for complex infections, care by an ID physician can save lives. The field is constantly challenged by the emergence of new entities or by the re-emergence of old enemies, emboldened by antimicrobial resistance. For these emerging infections, ID clinicians sound the alarm, educate the public, define treatment, and help halt the spread of disease. The experience with HIV infection, which was transformed from a universally fatal infection to a manageable chronic condition in the space of a generation, demonstrates the power of medical science, but also the pace of change. And as the recent experiences with Ebola and Zika have shown us, these emerging infections are truly global and require a well-educated and prepared clinical workforce.

While these are undoubtedly exciting times for an ID clinician, they are also daunting for a trainee interested in ID and for an established clinician who wishes to catch up on training that occurred years previously. There is a clear need for resources that will aid clinicians in their learning. Certification (and recertification) examinations are one way that modern societies use to demonstrate expertise. It is for this reason I am delighted to support the talented team of editors and contributors who have put this new study guide together. The editors are all young faculty who have recently completed their training and who understand the practicalities of preparing for examinations. They have assembled an impressive international group of authors, to include both current information but also novel study aids and sample questions that will allow for self-testing. This was a daunting challenge and congratulations are due to all involved for such an outstanding outcome. I am sure readers will value their effort and will use the book frequently, both in preparing for examinations or for their own teaching.

Preface

Thank you for picking up our labor of love. We created this book following a clear vision: a resident matching into an Infectious Disease fellowship, and on that day realizing the immense amount of knowledge they now need to acquire. Infectious disease (ID) is by far the largest field of medicine, comprising all the organ systems, all the stages of life, and the largest number of different diagnoses. All of this is compounded by the fact that ID physicians are frequently called upon to be the disease detectives in many hospitals and ferret out diseases that are not infectious in nature. It is a scary realization, but at the same time, it is an invitation to a lifetime of learning. We put together this book for that resident, initially to join them as they embark on their fellowship adventure, and then to be referenced during fellowship training so that when the end of fellowship comes, all pages have been read, lovingly dog-eared and underlined or highlighted (or both), and all the questions read and answered a few times over, all in different stages of their evolution as an ID physician. So, as the fellowship ends, all the studying is done, the fellow is now the attending, and the boards hold no fear for them, because they have long been prepared. That was the vision for this book when we first developed it. We made sure that each chapter is written by experts from all aspects of infectious diseases (including Microbiology and Pharmacology), by rising stars in the field who have recently taken the boards and excelled, and by authors who understand the challenges posed by the complexity of this field of study and practice. Our contributors come from all over the world and this gives our book a richer perspective on infectious diseases.
