In the ambulatory setting, the student will have exposure to the outpatient ID clinic and the pediatric/adolescent HIV clinic. Microbiological laboratory utilization and antibiotic therapy are emphasized during the rotation. Informal teaching conferences are held frequently. The student is expected to participate in weekly journal club, presenting an article each week.
