Infectious Diseases Pharmacotherapy Section Heading link
The Section of Infectious Diseases Pharmacotherapy has provided a wide range of scholarly, teaching, and clinical services to the University and the Chicagoland area since its inception in 1996. The Section was created by Co-directors Larry Danziger and Keith Rodvold. Dr. Danziger continues to provide leadership and vision for the section.
The Section provides clinical pharmacy services to the University of Illinois Hospital & Health Sciences System in the inpatient and outpatient settings. Members of the section provide care to patients in the Family Center for Infectious Diseases, and a variety of HIV Outreach Clinics throughout the city of Chicago. Furthermore, the Section’s HIV pharmacotherapy group provides care for over 30 jails within the Illinois Department of Corrections system via an HIV telemedicine clinic.
In addition to patient care services, the Section maintains its commitment to educating future clinician-scientists. The Section has one of the largest and longest-standing Infectious Diseases Pharmacy Fellowship Training programs in the U.S. To date, over 80 Infectious Diseases trainees, including PGY2 HIV/ID, PGY2 ID Residents and Infectious Diseases Fellows have completed the program at UIC under the leadership and expertise of the faculty in the Section.
