I spent last week at the ID Week 2013 conference.Appropriately, the value of infectious diseases as a specialty was raised in the discussions. Here is some guidance from the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) on the value of infectious diseases as specialty.
A nice perspective on the value of infectious diseases can be found in this 2003 Clinical Infectious Diseases article.
Value may be in the eye of the beholder.
Back to the grind.
