Infections affect all of us over the course of our lives. Staying a step ahead of potentially harmful microorganisms is a constant and ever-evolving challenge. As a pediatric infectious diseases specialist, I love teaching patients and families about how we interact with microbes and how to avoid infections. When infectious diseases do occur, I work with patients and families to overcome them so they can get back to their usual activities and passions. I can think of no job more fascinating, rewarding, and meaningful.
