The International Society for Infectious Diseases (ISID) has announced the Emerging Leaders Program to recognize excellence in the field of infectious diseases at an early career level, to facilitate capacity building and succession planning and to give select, promising early career investigators and physicians the opportunity to become familiar with the Society’s work, engage in ISID’s activities, showcase their work and network with colleagues around the world.
The International Society for Infectious Diseases (ISID) mission is to support health professionals, non-government organizations, and governments around the world in their work to prevent, investigate, and manage infectious disease outbreaks when they occur. ISID has a particular focus in countries that have limited resources and which disproportionately bear the burden of infectious diseases. The ISID recognizes the intersection of infectious diseases in humans, animals, and plants, that infectious diseases cross all national and regional boundaries, and that effective long-term solutions require international scientific exchange and cooperation.
