Abstract

The results of the Infectious Diseases (ID) fellowship match over the past decade have raised concerns that the future of our specialty is in peril, despite the unprecedented demand for ID expertise as exemplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. While there was a modest increase in ID fellowships applicants attributable to the pandemic, the disappointing 2023 match results indicate that the increase was short-lived. Multiple factors contribute to low interest in ID including but not only low salaries relative to other specialties. Solutions to grow the ID workforce are urgently needed and are critical to the public health of this nation.
