2009 Chicago Infectious Disease Board & Recertification Course

There are currently 6,056 certified infectious disease physicians in the United States.  To ensure that these specialists are highly qualified, a rigorous board exam is required for both initial certification and periodic recertification.  The Metro Foundation, in partnership with Rush University Medical Center, provides an intensive Annual Board Review to prepare these physicians for the exam.  The course additionally serves those seeking continuing medical education (CME) credit.

In addition to being the largest course in the Midwest, this board review course is currently the only course of its kind that is offered free of charge to infectious disease fellows-in-training.
