The Infectious Diseases Society of America is proud to recognize this year's class of Fellows of IDSA - distinguished clinicians and scientists from across the U.S. and around the world - whose contributions continue to move our field forward.
Fellowship in IDSA (FIDSA) is one of the highest honors in infectious diseases. It recognizes individuals whose careers reflect deep curiosity, scientific excellence and a commitment to compassionate care and health equity. Fellows are self-nominated and approved by the IDSA Board of Directors for their sustained impact on research, education, public health and clinical care.
"The 166 individuals honored this year represent a defining moment for ID as we continue to follow the science in pursuit of the best outcomes for our communities," said IDSA President Ronald G. Nahass, MD, MHCM, FIDSA. "Receiving the FIDSA designation is the ID profession's highest honor given to those who have demonstrated that they are true leaders in the field of infectious diseases. These ID physicians and scientists represent the passion and commitment needed to educate leaders around the globe about current and future health threats."
IDSA Fellows work across settings and disciplines, united by a shared purpose: to reduce the burdens of infectious diseases and build a healthier, more equitable future.
