University of Virginia-Virginia Commonwealth University 2019 ID Case Conference

Kudos to to our colleagues at the University of Virginia, including my ID Division Chair counterpart Dr. Eric Houpt, for a very successful, combined and highly interactive infectious diseases case conference, done today by telelink.

A special thank you to our clinical infectious diseases fellows, Dr. Nicole Vissicheli (VCU) and Dr. Bree Campbell (UVA) for their respective cases on HTLV1 myelopathy and Capnocytophagia canimorsus sepsis. Of course, none of this could have happened without our excellent staff who coordinated it all.

These events serve both to teach and to remind us of the value of academic collaboration.

I am already looking forward to the next combined ID conference between our institutions in 2020.
