Medical Education
Amidst the array of orthopaedic subspecialty clinics and wound care facilities, trainees find themselves immersed in a rich tapestry of MSK ID pathology, shaping them into astute clinicians capable of navigating complexities with finesse. Our fellowship curriculum includes a specialized concentration in musculoskeletal infectious diseases, designed to provide second-year Infectious Disease fellows with dedicated, hands-on experience. This concentration allows fellows to rotate on the surgical ID service and spend significant time in the musculoskeletal ID clinic, honing their skills in this critical field. Witness firsthand as Dr. Jenny Aronson, our esteemed director of musculoskeletal infectious diseases, unveils the relentless dedication and groundbreaking innovations defining the Stanford MSK ID team. Watch our video and join us in shaping a healthier tomorrow, one step at a time.
