Here’s a few tips and trips I wish all providers knew 🙃

Ever wonder how to make the most out of your ID rotation? Here are a few tips! 🦠👩🏻‍⚕️🧫 #infectiousdisease #medstudent #resident #fellow #medicine #hospital #bugsanddrugs

The fellows, on their own volition, have again gone fruit-picking! This time, for apples. (They also conveniently stopped at a near by winery).

First wellness event of the year!
Blueberry picking at one of our lovely clinic nurse's blueberry patch. Of course some pizza was had as well as a healthy dose of tick repellent! #uconn
