infections, provide time-sensitive care, and foster innovative approaches to antimicrobial stewardship, infection control, and research in the critical care setting.</p> <p>The University of Maryland Medical Center in downtown Baltimore, Maryland is an ~900 bed hospital with nearly one-third of all beds dedicated to critical care.</p> <p>Due to high rates of infection, antibiotic use, and antibiotic resistance, there is an increasing need to train more infectious disease specialists to work with critically ill and complex patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). </p> <h3>Core Faculty
