Training Opportunities in the Infectious Disease Sciences Program
Infectious Disease Training Program | Joel Meyers Endowment | Summer Scholar Internship Program
Infectious Disease Training Program
The Training Program in Infectious Diseases in the Immunocompromised Host aims to develop the next generation of physician and postdoctoral scientists with expertise in infectious diseases that afflict transplant patients and other people with compromised immune systems. This program is supported by a T32 training grant from the National Institutes of Health.
With rigorous, interdisciplinary training among world-renowned Fred Hutch scientists, the training prepares MD and PhD students to perform innovative, collaborative, clinically-relevant research on infectious diseases of immunocompromised individuals. We seek promising candidates who will use their expertise to develop novel strategies to prevent, treat and control these infections.
What to Expect in the Curriculum
The core curriculum includes formal courses, didactic exercises and conferences that are important for all trainees, regardless of academic achievement or research interests. Training includes skills-based programs that cover key learning objectives, as well as interactive programs that involve participating in conferences and research events.
The training program includes three integrated tracks that represent the expertise of our training faculty while also covering areas of innovation and unmet scientific and medical need. Each track is led by a senior faculty mentor with exceptional credentials.
- Clinical Research, Infection Prevention and Stewardship
- Immunology/Immunogenetics
- Microbiome and Pathogenesis

Joel Meyers Endowment
The Joel Meyers Endowment Scholarship was established in honor of the founder of Fred Hutch’s Infectious Disease Program. For more than 25 years, the fund has provided critical support to early-career physician-scientists who are on the cusp of launching independent careers after years of training. The scholarship helps advance the careers of high-caliber scientists, with the ultimate goal of eliminating infection-related deaths and disease among people with compromised immune systems.
