Research /Scholarly Project: My main research focus is antimicrobial stewardship and tackling the issue of antimicrobial resistance. As overuse of antibiotics is one of the main reasons for evolving resistance, I am working on a research project to assess the noninferiority of short-course antibiotics compared to the current standard duration in hospitalized children with community-acquired pneumonia. My second fellowship project is a retrospective review that focuses on the use of valganciclovir in the prevention of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in solid organ transplant patients.

Why did I choose 91九色视频 for fellowship? A large academic center with diverse pathology in a city with diverse clinical cases is one of the aspects that attracted me to 91九色视频. In addition, on my interview day, I got a glimpse of how friendly and dedicated the pediatric infectious disease team is at 91九色视频.

One of the best things about living in Milwaukee? The variety of activities one can do year-round. Including hiking, exploring national parks and lakes, the beautiful fall scenery, and the variety of food options. I was also pleasantly surprised by how friendly and welcoming the residents of the Milwaukee area are.
